The Stars are the exception but they still bottomed out recently and got Heskenen. They also got extremely lucky and hit it out of the park with Hintz, Robertson and Ottenger.
I'm not saying we need to full on tank. But we do need to get some top picks. Event he teams people use as examples of not full tanking still bottomed out for a season or two recently.
I hope Conroy is playing chess and not checkers and trying to indirectly rebuild. He wants the team to get younger. Good. A younger team will probably be a worse team short term.

Did the Stars bottom out? They won the lottery from a position not that close to the bottom to get Heiskanen? They were 7th worst that year, basically where the Flames are now.
