Generational talents, by definition, come a couple times a generation. A team could be standing by that bus stop for a looong time. And it still is more likely to fall short than succeed.

Yeah I think the biggest flaw in the 'tank for lord stanley' strategy is that no one explains what happens after you get the #1 pick?
You've caught your tail, now what? Is the sole #1 pick you just got just going to make you win games? Or do you tank more for more good picks? Or do you then tell your scouts to find the pivotal 4th round gem now? Or does your coaching staff flip the 'win games' switch to 'on?'
