@CanuckFansRDumb@Doublej814@JCog88 Vegas is completely different, their sustained success comes from teams messing up the expansion draft. You might have a case for Carolina, but two of their best players were still drafted at 2nd and 13th overall.
Nobody is saying any of that other stuff isn’t helpful.
@leodabingiv2@MrMiyagikills@Nuckology So again you still haven’t made an argument.
Buium’s predraft numbers project him to be have a higher ceiling. Prove me wrong.
@TrevBeggs You are misconstruing what Hank said.
All he is saying here is that we don’t need to trade every single player for picks, which is (in most ways) a good mindset.
@Doublej814@JCog88 Then the Panthers might be the first team in history to get a 1st overall and 2 overall pick in back to back years without rebuilding LOL
@Petespucks@PetterssonFan@JHammer_87 I’m just confused how you can call it the “same team” when just under half the roster is new players.
Can you point to one rebuild where every core player was traded? You won’t find it.
Not to mention, this is practically year 1 of our rebuild.
@CanuckFansRDumb@Doublej814@JCog88 Both were first round picks, with Lundell being drafted just outside the top 10. You don’t get those picks by not rebuilding.
@CanuckFansRDumb@Doublej814@JCog88 Lundell? Samoskevich? Both drafted and were key pieces to the cup wins.
Also the capitals for the first couple years before and even after drafting Ovi were rebuilding. A lot of their core for that 2018 cup was drafted between 06-12.
