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.

Is there anyone other than the Rangers who have done a quick rebuild? Dallas missed the playoffs for 7 out of 9 years before they hit on Heiskanen, Robertson and Oettinger. They went through a lot of bad 1st round picks before that magical draft. Not sure anyone other than the Rangers has done it quickly but unfortunately I don’t know if a Panarin/Fox combo will knock on the Flames door to expedite the rebuild.
