My point is that it’s ridiculous to say it’s the ONLY way. Yes, I know you’ve wanted to tank for the past number of years.
But, everyone has first round picks, some high ones, that have done nothing to help their team win a cup. You discount that because it doesn’t fit your wants. I bring up Vegas because they didn’t have a high first round pick. It completely discounts your claim, but it doesn’t fit your want to tank so you say it doesn’t count.
I think it’s much more accurate to say, show me a team that doesn’t want a decent young centre that they can acquire via trade and I will show you a beer league team full of the very best of friends.
