Don't get me wrong, Yzerman has drafted a few really good names but the lack of lottery luck has killed him. Here he at least started with Hedman and Stamkos to build the long term future around. You legitimately cannot do better than that in 2 years. Who did he have in Detroit? Larkin? They REALLY needed to luck out and win the Jack Hughes sweepstakes. You can make that work with Mo Seider.Yeah,I think SFY and Motown is gonna have to wait another year for a return to playoff hockey.
The lottery was partially instituted because the Pens bottomed out for Lemieux.Don't get me wrong, Yzerman has drafted a few really good names but the lack of lottery luck has killed him.

This is also why I hate lotteries. Here's hoping Pittsburgh doesn't land have to only wait 20 seconds before their next savior for the next 20 years arrives. I just know those f***ers are gonna land McKenna or Jacobson
They need to just let it go. The straw that broke the camel's back was claims that an EXPANSION TEAM IN 1992 was too bad. And the guy they got is renowned as the biggest bust in history. Imagine the Lightning being the worst team in the league starting in 2028 for 3 straight years and picking 3rd each time.The lottery was partially instituted because the Pens bottomed out for Lemieux.
I'm not sure what the solution is. It's not like getting McDavid or Bedard immediately turns a team's results around. It wasn't that way with Crosby or Ovechkin, either. You can't fail your way into a good team (Edmonton).

It's nonsense
i know you're joking but we have wasted more draft picks on the actual draft - many times.Number 3: AKA Tanner Jeannot
