First, most of those deals don't go through. It's a cap league, and in many cases equal money has to be traded back and forth.
But it is a false premise that having a lot draft picks and no picks make a good team in the future. Besides fans and owners want a competitive deal or at least hope. Having a bunch of 2nd and 3rd pick or worse, which a few might turn into NHLer into years down road, Do you fans/owner want to wait five years for a couple of third rounders become good enough to play on third line or last pairing defence.
