If there's anything I've learned watching hockey, especially the Flames, is that it's an unpredictable game. Sure the Flames won't be contenders (Playoffs or Stanley Cup) for some time, but those of you suggesting 30th overall for the next two years is a lock, are out to lunch. The possibility is there of course, but I highly doubt we'll be bad enough to get McDavid in two drafts time.
I fully expect players like Baertschi, Backlund, Brodie, etc.. to continue making progress, enough so that we'll be somewhat competitive.
