The top 4 this year presents quite the opportunity.
I get that but I have absolutely zero faith in the Flames development. It feels like they could draft the baby of Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux and he'd still turn out to be a putz and not a legitimate star NHL player. So what I'm saying is maybe the de-risking makes sense.
