Would be awesome for the oilers if they did finish last and pick Mckinnon because in two or three years they'vd have back2back2back2back stanley cups.
You'd need to be a blind fool not to recognize the level of talent on their team and in their organization. Only chance they have at the 1st overall pick will be through the lottery. Same as the Flames.
The Flames need.....
Iginla to continue to contribute more and more as he ages.
Kiprusoff has to play 46 games and be even better and not get hurt.
Hudler, Cervenka, Baertschi, Backlund need to prove they belong.
Hartley must prove he can coach a team that isn't an all star team.
My problem here is we have 4 BIG factors. The chances we hit a home run and go 4/4 aren't so great.
I'm not sold on Hartley. He was average with Atlanta and did well in Colorado when of course he had one of the best teams. History would tell me he doesn't do so well with fringe teams.
Between Hudler, Cervenka, Baertschi and Backlund I think only Backlund will be a success. I can see Baertschi putting up respectful numbers however I think Hudler is going to be Stajan #2.
My money is on that Cervenka doesn't even play a single game in a flames uniform.
