Your proposal is just as likely to get us back here as it is to work (and by work i mean having a team like last year).
You are saying tank hard and HOPE to win the lottery. #### that.

Edmonton has two top-3 players on the planet, only one of whom was a 1OA.
I would build a statue of Katz outside the dome if it got us two top-3 players in the world.
You get talent at the top of the draft. The difference between success and failure is hitting on those picks. It’s the difference between Doughty at #2 or Byfield. Gudbranson or Huberdeau at 3.
But there’s no not having top-2 picks on your team if you really want to matter in this league.
