It's fine to hope for the dallas model but I wouldn't bank on the same results and our retool just being two years.
Alot went right for them in that 2017 draft.
They were 6th in their division two years in a row. 2017 and 2018.
2017 - 7 draft picks (2 firsts) - they get 3rd oa and draft a #1D, they draft a #1 goalie and a top pairing winger within 5 years.
2018 - 8 draft picks - they end up with 13th oa and end up with a middle 6 center so far. Noone else looks like an NHLer yet.
Just shows the duality of it. They were very fortunate.
