No one's crapping their pants, but drafting top 3 this year was THE chance for us to close the gap, rather than simply maintaining it (even that is a big if).

Sure, top three would be amazing. Don't get the whining about it though.
As for your first comment... I just don't get your point. I am not worried about any other team besides the Flames... other teams are going to draft players, that happens every year. Everyone but the Flames in this group has a high draft pick already.. Edmonton, Tampa, Carolina, Colorado etc... these teams are just poorly managed and coached.
The Flames need a top pick yeah but if they do their job and are managed and coached properly I'm not worried about it. Edmonton has three first overall picks and are fighting for another... I'm not "worried" about it.
