Exactly. Drafting high wasn't Buffalo's problem. But it certainly wasn't the solution some posters are cracking it up to be.
Edmonton drafted #1 overall three consecutive years and ended up with garbage. They got insanely lucky with their fourth #1OA pick, but even that didn't get them where they were promising the fans they would go.
