It kind of reminds me of the Nordiques. I believe they picked 1st OA three years in a row and had two top 5 picks the year before that. They didn't become a powerhouse until they traded all three guys away (and picked up Patrick Roy).
I guess I'm preparing for Edmonton to get 1st overall again this year, I just think thats going to be inevitable. It will be a shame to see them rush Dahlin into situations he's not ready for.
