If we could get any one of those players, I don't mind what we draft for 22/28.
But because we won a couple games at the end of the year (and had people on CP praising their play), now we have to do all these convoluted things to move up.
Such is life.

I could be the only one who feels this way, but I'm glad our rookies played with heart and still won some games after all was lost. I'm a competitive guy and could never purposefully lose a game, or cheer for a team who 'loses to be #1'. All the kids could've mailed it in like Tanguay, and become accustomed to losing/not trying. I thought we were trying to get rid of that mentality.
While it would have been nice to be picking a few spots higher in the draft, I think it should be more embarrassing for every team beneath the Flames in the standings and especially the Coilers, who after having their pick of the best talent coming to the NHL the last 5 friggen years!
