love it when players have self reflection and own up to the problem

That’s a bunch of crap from BA. A team can do nothing and win a cup in 16 to 30 years. He’s on thin Ice.. calling Smith right now

This is just from google Among the first overalls to win the Cup, it has taken on average eight years for them to win the Stanley Cup. The shortest time a first overall pick had to wait to win the Cup is two years; Guy Lafleur won his first Cup with the Montreal Canadiens just two years after he was drafted.

Also we have Keller, Scmaltz, Cooley, Gunner and Serg who will be all Hall of famers already. And we had Hill who we traded for a 3rd pick and a bag of Dorito's

I really hope this entire post is satire.

Sadly no. First Merry Christmas BA has done a great job of scorched earthing our team. hopefully drafted well but we need urgency on the rebuild. Not stupid over reactions but he should have faith in the team he has built and work on filling the holes now. We do want a stench of a losing culture Buffalo, Detroit ect. We tanked got assets, hopefully future talented players and tonnes of trade capital. We now need to build a winning culture and team. Playoffs this year is the only measurement of success. If not BA better have a strong exit interview not rebuilds take 18 years. hold us accountable then.

He should be on the phone with Rangers, Buffalo, Blue Jackets and Red Wings.

Merry Christmas! I hope you and your family have a great holiday season and new year.

Times Arizona/Utah has drafted first overall = 0

Number of teams that have picked first overall in the last 24 years that have gone on to win a cup = 8 (8 out of 24 which is only 33%). Notice that some of these teams had also picked first overall multiple times on their way to the cup.

You can't cherry pick the 33.33% that did go on to win the cup and say that it only averaged 8 years because it ignores the other 66.66% that have yet to win a cup. It's just not accurate.

The shortest time a first overall pick had to wait to win the Cup is two years; Guy Lafleur won his first Cup with the Montreal.

There were also only 16 teams in the NHL then. Half the competition on the way to a championship.

Also we have Keller, Scmaltz, Cooley, Gunner and Serg who will be all Hall of famers already.

These guys aren't even close to being HoF material. We already know Keller and Schmaltz definitely aren't. Serg maybe someday. Cooley and Gunner way too early for such a bold claim - would be awesome though!
