Has to be Edmonton. They've had 1 good regular season in the last 13 years.

Toronto is a close 2nd.

Carolina Hurricanes is the clear winner. Missed playoffs 8 times in a row since 2008. /Thread

haven't had a pick higher than Hanifin since Jack Johnson 2005


none of their draft picks have been egregious and their trades haven't been bad

2014 they went safe and took Fleury instead of Nylander and Ehlers, that's it

Toronto has to be up there. It may be Edmonton #1 but Toronto comes in at a close #2.

They've had their run in contendership. Teams like Florida, and Arizona have had next to nothing.

Whats you point? They failed to achieved result, but we can't call them bad, cause they did everything right? If it is your point, then I totally disagree. Good intentions is the worst indicator in the history of mankind. There are some real ones. You can go with something like a financial situation for example. But its boring. It is more interesting for a hockey fan to check a play-off success. In this case it is Carolina with their record of being out the playoff.

Canucks under Benning have been horribly run on all fronts.

Other teams have had worse records per se, but the Canucks have gutted their staff, management and scouting, things that can have a long term impact, often on a greater level than simple transactional moves.

won more playoff rounds than the Leafs, Jets, Jackets, oilers, and probably a few other teams out there during that time

Nope I heavily disagree

Is the goal to make the playoffs or win the cup? Either way you bringing up Carolina in a poll with Arizona Buffalo Edmonton is just laughable

Arizona, Buffalo, and Edmonton are all definitely worse than Toronto. Toronto is right up there though

I see now. You disagree with the name. No any proof, just your opinion. I have an opinion that Moon is bigger then Sun. Can you proof me wrong?
Second question: how are you going to win the cup by missing play-offs? (Hint: don't even try "tanking" as your answer) Arizona, Edmonton and other clubs were definitely more successful. They had their chance to win the cup. It may be was not big one, but it still was bigger than zero chance Carolina had by not making it.

I don't need to prove you wrong to think your opinion is worthless ... no offence

I disagree. Arizona has dealt with far worse - Toronto has messed up more with having more.

 

[jetsforever]

Edmonton and Arizona are the worst IMO. I'll vote Edmonton.

Non taken. 99% of HF posts are: "there are two points of view. Mine and the wrong one". I've seen enough of comments like this to take it personally.

 

[HanSolo]

Having assets fall into theirr lap doesn't undo how mismanaged Edmonton was.

Not really true tbh and it's hard to say Toronto has been poorly run the last couple of years. Arizona is pretty easily still badly run

But Arizona had more success in the cap era IMO

 

[JaegerDice]

Went with the Oilers.

Four 1st OA picks, 2 of them traded, a 3rd soon to be, and they have one playoff appearance to show for it.

They can't draft outside the first round, they've lost almost every trade they've made, their lockerroom seems to turn to poison everytime they hit a bit of adversity regardless of roster or coach, etc.

 

[Ctrain2k]

Islanders

 

[Maukkis]

It is out of Edmonton, Toronto and Arizona (they have been mismanaged the longest).
