top3 draft picks make a ***HUGE*** difference for a team. look at ours. hank and dank #2/#3 -- one of which is now an art ross winner. took a lot longer than people wanted, but you need those picks to have any shot at winning.
i will gladly take being a last place team if it meant a cup in the future.

Usually getting a top 3 pick means youre GM has sucked ass at his job. Look at Detroit. They havn't had a top3 pick for 3432432 years and they are the closest thing to a modern dynasty right now.
Look at Florida or NYI. Theyve gotten some pretty high picks over the years yet they are still laughing stocks of the league.
And not all top 3 picks are guaranteed successes. We can thank Brian Burke for the Sedins though.
