How can it get worse?
Remember when the Flyers traded multiple pieces including a 1st round pick for Ristolainen? Or when the Canucks traded a high 1st for OEL?
Now, imagine what mistakes can make as an organization that thinks anything can happen if they squeak into the playoffs when they currently have all of their 1st round picks and a bottom third prospect pool?
If you think things can't get any worse, you aren't imaging hard enough.

Maybe we have a different idea of "worse" then. Philly has a guaranteed top 10 pick and an outside but not unrealistic shot at bedard. While Risto looks like a dog's breakfast skating at a peak 25km/h, they at least have some hope of improving through the draft. Funny you picked Risto though as our management group (including Tre) wanted to trade for him until Chris Snow shut that down.
To me the worst outcome is if things stay as they are. No realistic playoff chance and no good draft pick to bolster the prospect pool. No hope to improve and no shot at the cup. Woof.
