Edmonton Drafted Draisaitl 3rd ...Buffalo has no one that can stack upIf Edmonton doesn't land McDavid, they start look a lot like Buffalo does now IMO.

Buffalo not running away in this poll is perplexing.
The Sabres are the worst run franchise in sports. Bar none. All time.
I'm not sure why the beginning of the Senators rebuild (and only 2 years at that) is up here but we're going to ignore the 05/06 - 19/20 Leafs?
Ottawa went through a very rough patch, but absolutely laughable to include them in this group, there are far other worse options. Terrible.
Even during those years you highlighted, we had an excellent run and after the 2 years we have assembled arguably best prospect pool with pieces that look like the makings of an excellent core longterm.
This poll just shows the bias towards the Oilers hatred
Hall Eichel Skinner Olofsson Staal Cozens Reinhart Dahlin and they are The WORST, yes, WORST team in the NHL, getting blown out every game
And they still won't fire their coach
In hindsight that was the worst but unless you are drafting top 5, MAYBE top 10 draft picks are magic beans, we knew the SECOND it happened Hall for Larsson was bad.
Ton of Oiler first round picks never came close to meeting their potential and some couldn't hack it in the NHL.

The reason I picked EDM is because of what you just listed off, 8(you could probably add one or two more even) great to OK players that Buf has managed to draft/acquire, while EDM still cant even make a list like that, and when they were dogshit the list was only 3 players.
EDM had terrible coaching, terrible drafting, terrible management, terrible everything. Whereas BUF has a legit chance to right the ship with a simple coaching change, since the talent on that team is nowhere even remotely close to as bad as their record.
So while I would be livid about the coaching situation in Buf if I were a fan, the actual team is not even close to as bad as EDM was before Mcjesus came and things started heading in the right direction.
Lol,
Buffalo is far more then a head coaching change..
Lol
Wait how did we fire the owner?Honestly, I believe the Koski contract was Katz throwing one last grenade before he left. He knew he was getting fired, there was no reason to sign such an unproven goalie to that contract with so few games played.
No I can assure you at the time the trade was made, everyone hated the Reinhart trade. We at least knew we were getting a somewhat young dman that was good defensively in Larsson which is what we needed. In the Reinhart trade we knew as soon as it was announced we were getting a disappointment in exchange for high picks in a deep draft.In hindsight that was the worst but unless you are drafting top 5, MAYBE top 10 draft picks are magic beans, we knew the SECOND it happened Hall for Larsson was bad.
I'll go with option E) The Ballard era Leafs
Woops meant ChiaWait how did we fire the owner?
thisProbably the Oilers, but the Sabres are closing the gap pretty quickly.
Oilers.
Sabres have at least made moves that make sense and tried to make things work.
Oilers were like.. giving away Dubnyk, Petry, Eberle, Hall, etc for nothing.
For the Sabres.
Make some big splash deals in Ehrhoff and Leino that don't pan out. Enter a rebuild.
Make the smart move to acquire a # 1 C in ROR and an excellent goaltending prospect. ROR has a DUI within a few weeks of signing and Lehner has his own personal struggles.
Draft generational pieces in Eichel and Dahlin. Surround them with talent. Still fail.
