Does anyone actually think these kids care where the Flames pick in the draft? For many of them this is their first and possibly only shot to prove that they belong in the big league. Do they want some hotshot NHL-ready 1st rounder to come in next year and take their spot on the depth chart? Hell no!!
The only sure fire way to tank is to get a load of spoilt millionaire UFAs and try to make them play a defence-first system where they have to back check. Otherwise known as the 'Brent Sutter'
I still think we'll draft top 5. No way the teams around us continue to suck as hard as they've been sucking. The sheen will probably wear off these youngsters soon too.
