The flipside of the "30% chance at a franchise pick" is that you have a 70% chance of not getting a franchise pick. All in exchange for losing miserably.
And presumably if you don't get a franchise pick that first time, then the miserable losing stretches out.
Not picking on you at all, just presenting the downside of these scenarios. Seems that losing means you are mathematically more likely to increase your chance of losing more.

The only organization to win a cup since Detroit without top-5 picks playing crucial roles is Boston - the best run organization in the league.
Everyone else. Literally everyone else. Has had top-5 selections as part of their core.
It is impossible to win without them. If you play a team in the Finals and and they have more stars than you, you’re going to lose.
And parachuting someone else 3rd overall 29 year old LW is not the same thing and everyone knows it.
