No ####, Sherlock. The Flames started their rebuild one (1) year ago. The Sharks are heading for their sixth consecutive year out of the playoffs.

You may say it's an unnecessary amount of pain, but I'd say it's a necessary amount of pain for a proper rebuild.

The Sharks finished dead last with 47 points and got Macklin Celebrini. The New Jersey Devils finished with a .493 record in 2020 and got Jack Hughes. No matter how high you draft, you are limited by the quality of players available that year, and more often than not, there isn't a single player who can turn a franchise around. You don't get to unlock a super secret generational player by being extra bad.
The fact that you're borrowing draft picks from the Sharks' future to brag about how well they're doing… means… well, that they aren't doing that bloody well.
