First round pick?!

So I'm not saying we're going to be the worst team in the league after just seven games, but the bad start has me mildly concerned. Making matters worse as I'm sure you all know is the fact that we do not get our 1st round pick in the coming draft, whether it's top 15, top 10, top 5, or #1. The penalty was total BS but we've been over that. Why we didn't forfeit our pick after the run to the Cup finals a couple years ago is beyond me. In my opinion, if this does turn out to be a real down year for us, it could be the biggest mistake Lou has made in his time with the Devils, potentially costing us a chance to draft the next big time franchise player. Watching the leads blown, the L's mount, and knowing that there isn't even a high pick waiting for us at the end of a potentially bad season (which as we spoiled Devils fans know is anything short of the playoffs) is brutal. Here's hoping we get things back on track and at least finish ahead of those tools from across the river... Your thoughts boys?
