Lazy easy take setting up an arrangement for players to lose.
If building a team was about high picks Edmonton wouldn’t be a joke & the Sabres would have played a playoff game in the last decade.
Having Iginla as a resource is massive. He’s seen more players for a longer period of time who are eligible for the upcoming draft than any other person working in hockey, and it’s not even remotely close.
Between him & Conroy, they know what’s they’re doing.
Neither are losers so they would likely quit the minute they were told losing was ok, and that their playing to win “hubris” wasn’t acceptable.
