I've mentioned this in other posts, but you can't assume that a top 5 pick will magically bring us to the promised land. In 2019 Kakko was 2OA while Caufield was 15th...who would you rather have right now? I know this feels like cherry picking but it's just to prove a point that you do not need to tank to get great players and/or build a team that will succeed.
Habs are doing very decent right now (for what was expected) and to wish for them to lose just so we have a "chance" at a high pick is beyond me. I agree that there are still some holes to be filled but those can be filled while still being competitive.
Let's cheer for our habs!
