Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

I sigh whenever I read here from Sal and Count that the “rebuild” will be done/complete after next summer. It won’t be, obviously. It’s not like HuGo can snap their fingers and say “Rebuild done, we’re now going to be good for the next 7 years.” Only Rags can because two superstars decided they would only play for them. Not gonna happen with us. 3-5 year organic rebuild. Done when it’s done.

Sal must be pissed the race to 17th overall isn’t going to happen

People need to be realistic , decades of bandaids and shit drafting gets you this stench

Bingo , it’s done when it’s done with results

You're really trying to massage some numbers there.

8 of the last 9 Cups have been won by teams with a 1st overall player on the team. Full stop.

No arguments there. But I’m unsure if it’s the norm or recency bias. Most 1st don’t win, but the select few wins a large share of them. As I’ve been saying the 2003-2008 crew are an outlier of the larger trend, but they account for most recent wins.

Everything else aside. Better players give you a better chance to win. Having the 1st overall pick gives you the best shot at the best player.

This year is a year that the 1st overall pick has a very strong chance of actually being the best player when we look back in 5/10 years.

I only counted Cups with the teams that drafted them. So I excluded Smith, Green and Ramage that won Cups with us. My optic was targeted at the benefit of the team drafted those players.

And I excluded everything before 1969 since it was still affected by sponsorship before that.

Yeah that’s a different list, again I was looking at it from the drafting team benefit. Good players tends to end up on good teams eventually.

That being said, it would be fair to include Lindros as his trade was a major factor of Colorado’s Cups.
