Only Calgary and Winnipeg (who jumped from 7 to 2 in the lottery) haven't accepted a full on rebuild at some point in time.

Wow, I just looked up the Winnipeg draft history. In consecutive years, they drafted Scheifele, Trouba, Morrissey, Ehlers, Connor, and Laine. In the last 6 years, nothing. I mean, Perfetti was pretty good but got hurt, and Heinola looked impressive at the WJC at least. Imagine if they kept picking players of that caliber.
