Of course, each of those teams acquired their top centres through the draft, usually high picks. Backstrom, Crosby, Malkin, Toews were all top 3 and Kopitar and Carter were 11th. Kuznetsov was 26th. And, of course, Washington and Chicago also had first overall picks as wingers as well, Pittsburgh had a first overall goalie, and LA had a number 2 overall defenceman.
So is the course of action to tank?
