Either way it feels a lot like a repeat of last year, when they missed the playoffs by two points and picked 16th.
If they keep picking outside the top 10 I'd say they'd have a better chance of this lull dragging on for 7-10 years. It took six years last time and that was with them making a 4th overall and two 6s.

And they might pick 1st.
They are currently 24th in the league, despite excellent goaltending from Markstrom. And they are going to trade 1 or 2 of their top 4 defensemen, and their best C.
Is it more likely that they move up, or move down in the standings, in the 2nd half?
