that's why we must be thankful to finally get a lottery (top 5) pick. the probabilities are just so much higher here, where you aren't picking out of a high number of relatively equal prospects. Each draft there will likely be a handful of "a cut above" type kids, and now hopefully the flames have a chance to get these higher probability prospects.
Flames haven't had the luxury of getting a lottery pick in the last 15 years (we had the 6th pick in 98 i think). I just don't see a precedent set by the powers that be to F this up.
