It is hard to imagine the Flames getting any better though either. I think Florida has 1st overall wrapped up, but the other three teams could easily pass the Flames.
Once the Oilers are done there roadtrip tomorrow, they have 14 of their final 21 at home, they have been a .500 hockey club at home, they should be able to stay above Calgary, Columbus is playing better and getting some goaltending, I suspect that the Avs will improve over the second half, and you got to think Philly will be better. Hard to pinpoint the teams that the Flames will pass, although the games against Columbus, Colorado and Edmonton will be key.
Overall, I would say it Flames have about a 33% chance of a top 3 pick and probably a 75% chance for a top five pick.
