Those guys just don't come along very often and you have to be incredibly fortunate to bottom out at the right time, and win the lotto.
You've got the meh #1s: Owen Power, AF
You've got the great #1st but don't necessarily change a franchise: Dahlin, Slafkovsky, Hischier
Then you've got the ones that change your franchise: Mackinnon, Celebrini, Matthews, etc.
Gotta be lucky to get one of that final group.

Yeah, but we're not dealing in hypotheticals to the best of my knowledge.
2026 isn't a RNH/Yakupov year.
The timing is right. I'm not talking about 2027 or beyond - I'm specifically talking about the bottom place spot we currently reside in, the path forward to success ("success") being nearly impossible.
Conroy has an opportunity to be very opportunistic here. That's what I'm championing.
