The only easy way to get them is if you're picking in the top 5-10 or so. We picked in the top 6 three times recently and hit homeruns with two of them, getting legitimate top line players in Monahan and Tkachuk.

48 game lock-out shortened season.
Had we lost 4 more games we could have been picking either Mackinnon or Barkov. Just had to toss 4 games away, that's it.
"IF" everything else still happened the same way, (Monahan was actualy outscoring Mackinnon for the first 3-4 years) and we still got Gaudreau/Tkachuk, I believe we'd have a cup or at least a finals appearence.
