It doesn’t matter . I agree the stat I never used or argued matter doesn’t matter ! Way to go ! Create a different stat and argue that stat doesn’t matter and ask why the statistic I didn’t create isn’t being addressed ! Logical !
And the reasoning for the non relevant stat “because others posters often throw it out there !” ….
What matters is having a star you drafted with the top 2 picks , because that is the only way to get to one’s who are good enough to win a cup
I find it very weird people even try to argue this . I guess being a Flames fan crates denial that there is some other way to acquire top talent and build a winning team then getting top picks !
And “almost every team has those picks” is both wrong when you look at the top 2 picks , and actually the only irrelevant part of the stats , because not all top 2 picks are equal . The Flames trading for a bust 2nd overall from years ago isn’t the same as drafting the next franchise player (or attempting too) even though both would result in “having a 2nd overall pick on the roster.
Hence - the very important distinction in the entire analysis - Having a top 2 pick YOU DRAFTED ! Not on your roster

You are still missing the point Jay Random was making.
And yes, there is a way to build a winning team without top picks. The Flames did it before, and other teams have done it. is it the best way? Probably not. But saying there is only one way is just false.
