I see the name of this article STEALTH TANK,if any team in this league has that down it's the EDMONTON OILERS.
This is becoming a joke, in that The Oilers over the last few years have gotten several 1 st overall picks and lets say our team the Canucks
have NEVER EVER had a single one in 47 going on 48 years.
The league has had to change the rules of drafting because of said Oilers,BUT it has hurt other teams that need to rebuild and with a lotto system it is very very
difficult to do so.
If in say 10 years you have 3 ,1st overall picks you as an organization DO NOT GET ANOTHER ,PERIOD! Until the next decade.
I DREAM OF A DAY WHEN WE FINALLY GET A FIRST OVERALL PICK FOR OUR BELOVED CANUCKS.
NOT BECAUSE WE DESERVE IT,
BUT BECAUSE IT'S THE FAIR WAY TO BUILD AN ENVIRONMENT OF TRUST THROUGH OUT THE LEAGUE.
But then we are talking about Americans being involved so that is why it's a mess,being able to come into the league now like Las Vegas and be really good right off the bat, no suffering for years for your team to be good.
But in a few years it will be another team we will have to subsidize because they are failing.Look at Carolina Hurricanes and yet those basterds have won a STANLEY CUP.
The Canucks will win a cup one day soon,IF THE LEAGUE WAS ANYTHING CLOSE TO FAIR.
