Well, in the early 2000's the Penguins were so bad they got either the first or second pick in 4 consecutive drafts. They drafted Fleury, Crosby, Malkin (a hell of a #2 choice behind Ovie) and became a powerhouse for the next 15 years.
The consensus #1 pick in this year's draft is Bedard, supposedly the best prospect since McDavid. And don't forget, there is a draft lottery now.

You can't trade the rest of them unless (1) they aren't on the injured list; and (2) they fill a need of a playoff or playoff-contending team that has a hole that a particular player or players of yours can fill. I don't know the league well enough to know if we have any other such players that we would be interested in trading.
One player we could probably trade tomorrow for a healthy return would be Wilson. Anybody interested in doing that? Maybe Gustaffson would fetch a mid-round draft pick. Our few young players might fetch something, but I'm presuming the team wants to keep the few young players we have with any promise. The rest? It would have to be exactly the right situation for anything to happen.
