I'm for it. I've been a part of the losing is winning crowd given the Flames current status of rebuild but it's not something I feel comfortable with and if anything being involved in the race for a top pick has showed me how some teams really do pull the plug on their seasons in hopes of improving their draft status which is just wrong. It's one thing to be a bottom dweller all season like the Flames who made no illusions about their rebuild but these teams that play well in the first half of the season and close to the deadline determine they won't make is and have a free fall in the standings disgust me.
