I don't care how it happens, I want to see the Flames draft in the top 3 before this rebuild is done. We've NEVER drafted top 5, even. How much is it to ask that we take a top player during our own rebuild, when teams like Edmonton, Florida and New York get to stock up on them yearly? It's stupid, ridiculous. I'm part in favour, part against this idea, cause it could either help or hurt us, and I just want to see us get a pick that we deserve for not throwing our season (or any of our recent non-playoff years, where we still fought until the bitter end).
On the other hand, if this keeps the Oilers from sucking more top talents into their black hole of a system and team, then all the better.
