I don't believe in sucking to get better draft picks - that's a terrible way to run a team.
Realistically however, next year projects to be worse than this year. And no one should be surprised by that - the Flames are still in tear-down mode, they haven't even
begun to start rebuilding yet.
Several more vets will be gone soon and few of the kids are close to being NHL-ready. And none of them are in a position to actually help the team be better.
The question is: what will Burke do about it? Will he go after guys this summer that will actually change the fortunes of the team? We'll see I guess.
