It happens all the time though. 16 teams since 2006 have selected in the top 3 having a 70+ point season. 26% of the total selections. Add 11 more times for 67+.
IMO going full tank most of the times results in less than 60 points.
47.3% of teams that picked top 3 since 2006 had 67 points or better.
Sorry you can rebuild without going full tank.
Even if we have a great year this year, we could still slide the following year and get our guy then. If we get a top 3 pick with a pretty good team in place already, it could lead to a better situation than the price SJ and Chicago paid to get their elite stars.
Enjoy the success of this team so far and see how it goes. Too many positives so far this season.
