You think like Oilers fans. They have been chasing the next big prospect for years and years and it got them no where until they got lucky and landed 97. That mentality leads to zero cups
There is a major difference between the Oilers and Rangers though. The rangers were god awful while looking for that next big thing, the Rangers aren't. They can actually let the young guys develop into what they can be. Are they going to be as good as Huby, maybe not. Are they going to be worth more than 2 months of Huby? Absolutely and it's not even a debate.
Btw, those Oilers didn't just land McDavid. They also landed , Nuge, Drai, and Nurse. Should they have traded them all for one good player just because they weren't working out? Of course not. Then all they would have is McDavid and one good player. But if that's not convincing, let's talk about how they did exactly that with Hall and Eberle. They weren't quite what they needed, so they traded them for what they thought they needed and it bit them back hard later.
Not having patience is moronic and it dooms you.
