This is what we have to accept for this draft. Maybe next draft, if the Flames have a horrible season, they get that franchise player.
As long as the Flames have hard working guys who buy into a system they can win games.
Baertschi, Backlund, Horak, and Reinhart are all guys who lead us in the right direction at forward.
Brodie and Cundari are great on the backend.
It will take a few years to draft and develop a quality team. Hopefully the Flames can capitalize in the off-season on the salary cap situation to speed up the process to become competitive again.
I think Lindholm or Monahan would be great editions to the team and either could hopefully become a #1 centre in the future. Barkov would be ideal.
