We could still finish in 3rd place and a team higher up wins the lottery pushing us to 4th and we'll still end up with an elite player. If Barkov, Drouin, MacKinnon and Jones were all in a different draft class they're all #1 picks, so we'll do out really well.
With a couple more guaranteed losses coming up, we'll have a stronghold on 29th place. I don't think anyone is catching Florida, but they may go with Drouin to play with Huberdeau (who I believe he played with in the Juniors).
I really like Jones, but we need MacKinnon or Barkov more in my opinion. As long as I've been alive the Flames have never had a #1 center. That is quite sad.
