The NHL rewards the worst teams with high draft picks, where its easier to get star players.The teams that were once good are now bad. The teams that were bad then are now good. There's lifestyle to every core, and you need to make your moves based around your lfircycle.




The flames strategy has been to minimize the downswing on lifestyle, but this seems to limit the upswing as well.
Well, sometimes you just have to finish 26th or so. I know a team that picked 1OA 4 times in 6 years but only finished last in one of those.
