I don't think anyone has said that drafting high is the only way to build a team but since this team is drafting high no matter what it seems that it is better to draft the better players and get elite talent when making those draft picks.

Comparing Calgarys situation to The Penguins is rediculous as finishing last and getting a Crosby isn't in the Flames cards no matter how badly we finish the season. Also we would have to be Oiler bad for multiple seasons to follow thte Penguins, again with no Crosby in the mix either. I remember how bad the penguins were, if people think the Flames are joke now, it's nothing compared to how bad Pittsburg was.
