Whether you agree with it or not, the reality is that the
NHL rewards it. And a GM's job is to get the highest reward outcome.
So the teams that are actively built to get a top 3-4 pick this year are going to have a better season than any team that barely misses the playoffs. A GM who didn't build a team good enough to make the playoffs but also not bad enough to make itself better long term did the worst job.
