And then when you bring that talent in, hopefully next year or the year after it's 4-3 good guys instead of 4-3 bad guys.
It's a reasonable perspective to have.
It's not like we're pigs rolling in the #### of ineptitude. We want winning hockey here again, but something more sustainable. Scratching and clawing with the bubble teams to scrape into 8th with no first line players is just a sub optimal blueprint to work from.

I think many of us have been pretty clear.
We get the wanting to lose for a better draft pick.
We get that the top of the draft is where you get better players.
But we also get that bad teams don't lose all 82 games.
And there is little point in whining about wins in a post game thread.
