I am talking about LAST YEAR's Draft.

"Which again supports my argument that teams DO NOT ABSOLUTELY NEED draft picks to correlate with their league position each and every year to be competitive."

Uh, the point you're missing is that last year was just like your proposal. We gave one of the best teams in the league the 3rd overall pick.

Big *duh* that Carolina didn't need the pick to be competitive, they were already one of the best teams in the league. We just didn't know it yet because of the year off. Meanwhile, a team that wasn't very good didn't get the pick, and *won't* be competitive next year or the year after, etc.

Your suggestion does nothing except occassionally rob the poor and give to the rich.

new rule - the pens dont get a top 10 pick for the next 10 years
how many years of rebuilding do you need before you start winning games?

Do not worry . . . I think that we are moving into the kick everyone's rear stage now and you can find other reasons than top ten picks to hate us. But do change the rules and see how you like us in a couple of years when we are competing for a cup and still win the lottey and get the top pick. I will personally enjoy that quite a bit.
