The problem is once you pay your stars out of ELC how many more years can you pick top 10? I think Ottawa made fine moves going after Debrincat and Chychrun 4-5 years after they started tanking and when guys like Tkachuk, Stutzle, Sanderson had their big money deals. Ottawa’s issue was trading for 2 guys that didn’t want to be there long term.
