If you know your next few picks are 4th, 14th, 24th, and 1st, or whatever, plan accordingly and go win. May the best team win and if you win the cup AND didn't trade the upcoming first.. how fn good are you?

I know its counter to sports history but think about it a sec.
Edmonton is rewarded for being horrible. Chicago now twice.The Rangers. Florida. Tampa. Be bad. As bad as you can. Eventually, losing wins.

Teams like Nashville get completely screwed for building a great franchise and trying to win, even if they fell short. I think of SJ too. There are more.
I'd be willing to bet 31 other owners/GMs would not be agreeable to this.
