Why would you need to draft top 3 to get those better players. The Stars clearly pulled it off later. So did Boston. They are already doing their absolute best to put the worst product on the ice, one would think that would count for something with team tank. Nobody who hopes we finish last really seems to care too much about what we get back for our assets, just that they leave the team so we can get that all important top 3 pick. Team rebuild is hoping that we get good picks and prospects back for the assets we have, that is the differentiating point I believe between team tank and team rebuild.
