That's the crazy thing, you either win the draft, or you drop another position. It's one or the other.
Knowing that, you've got to finish top 2, or hope to win the lottery. Anything else will be a disappointment.

Which is why it blows my mind when guys are wanting the Flames to lose overall and pick high, yet pick certain games where they want the flames to win for various reasons. "I want them to get a high pick, but I just can't stand losing to the Canucks, so hopefully they kick their ass!!"
Umm, okay great, except the chances of us picking in the top 3 are really low with the teams we're battling against. To me, it's one or the other, either you're cheering for the Flames to win every game because you don't believe in cheering for you team to lose (which is fine), or you're cheering for a top 2/3 pick and you want them to lose every game (which is also fine), but it's kind of one or the other. Cheering for losses most of the time and wins sometimes is just so weird to me.
