Exactly. This pretty well ends any Flames hope (outside of a lottery win) of getting Ekblad as I expect the Islanders to nail down the 29th spot now. Kind of sucks to have your franchise flounder like this and not even get the opportunity to pick up elite prospects.
I guess any positives to take out is that this will hopefully put an end to NHL participation in the Olympics.
