This is so true. Far worse Flames teams of the late 90's still weren't bad enough to pick top 5. I just don't see this being the group that gets the Flames a top 5 pick unless they are severely injury plagued. There are too many veteran players with too much pride to let their games slip to the point below every other team in the conference save the Jackets. I think a lot of this is simply wishful thinking by the media. They all hate what the Flames are trying to do and want confirmation of their doubts.
