Hi
I was trying to see if there is a correlation between getting a top 10 pick and using it or trading it and how teams performed and boy was I shocked to find out maybe or maybe not idk I did a ton of research and all it proved it that the Panthers, Canucks, Wings and Ducks have performed poorly as long as this league has been around it seems and all of them will likely get a top 10 pick again except the panthers who for the first time may not get a top 10 pick congrats on that :p Philly is the only team to never have a top 10 pick but has traded to make the most top 10 picks ever in the league with 5 WHOA
all this info im posting is completely useless but sharing is caring! the first number is how many picks a team had of there own in the top 10 the second is how many picks they made in the top 10 and then where they are ranked as of right now in the league, also the caps and sens may need to be switched up cause i have no idea what happened there a team swap or something maybe?

kraken had 1 made 2 32nd place 34 points projected to get 1st overall
philly had 0 made 5 2nd place 106 points
this is how this years draft is shaping up and how many top 10 selections it will make for each team if they do get a top 10 selection this year, I am not saying we should be actively rooting against any of the teams that have had top 10 selections in the past but would be nice to give some other teams that arent in there every year a shot LOL
