I mean Ottawa is a cautionary tale for those that want the tankbuild. I think Ottawa has a bunch of high end young guys but are still a trash team. Embracing losing makes flipping the switch to winning difficult.

I don’t buy this theory.
The Senators are a bad organization under poor management and poor coaching. The instability at an organizational level leads to poor results. Same issue with Buffalo and Edmonton sidelined those “rebuilds”.
Tanking/drafting at the top is inherently easy. Good management and staff is hard to obtain/develop and if you don’t have it you won’t build a good team regardless of where you draft.
Ottawa is only making things worse too - Smith was a bad coach, but naming Martin as interim head coach? Yikes.
