I have mixed feelings about all this - certainly the higher the pick the better it would be for the Flames. But I look up the highway and I do wonder what stinks up there - why can't they even take a step in the right direction. How much does a culture of losing start to become part of who you are as a team and as an organization?

I desperately want the Flames to be in the top 4 - but failing that Lindholm or Monnahan at 5/6 isn't bad either. When you get to 7th that's where you now have to make a decision between a guy with crazy upside/risk (Russian dude) or a guy who perhaps has less upside.

Again the guy I have no view on and I am completely ignorant about is Nurse. I may be completely looking over him as part of that 2nd tier with guys like Lindholm.
