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.
We really haven't started the rebuild in my mind. The last piece to leave was March of 2024. We haven't even had a draft with our torn down roster, this was supposed to be the first.

It is what it is at this point. If I had to pick a draft we surprised it would be the 25 draft, would suck if it was the McKenna draft and we have a extra lottery ticket. Think we get some more 1st rounders in the 27 and 28 drafts as well.
