I might be the only one thinks this, but I think the manner in which you try to get good players is something to be proud of. I love that the Flames are trying to get a center through a trade instead of the usual suck and get a top 3 pick approach. Feaster went after Richards, ROR, and now the #1 overall to draft Mackinnon. I like the boldness. Call me crazy, but the Chicago-Pittsburgh strategy of getting elite players by sucking and then adding pieces, not for me. Yes, they won Cups, but I don't know, I kind of like that the Flames didn't go down that road. The way you build a winner is just as important for me as winning itself.
