It’s more of a young man’s game than ever, so 3 years of excess picks (multiple first rounders and sprinkled in a couple of top 10 picks) gives you a big shot in the arm in your NHL roster, and I think more excitement from the fanbase, than the aging, but failing, win-now edition of the flames.

Well right now
- Buffalo has missed 11 straight and may get in
- Detroit has missed 6 and may get in
- Ottawa has missed 5 and may get in
- Anaheim has missed 4
- NJD have missed 4 and will get in
I think 3 is optimistic. 4-5 is the fastest most of the time. But it can certainly take longer.
