I feel that next year's our year - been telling that to everyone who thought we'd win this year to save the karma. It'd be funny if we won the lotto ahead of all the teams that are actually tanking.
Yeah, we might be near playoff contention, but then again we might even regress, and I'd feel a lot less awful if we lost out on a potentially high return on the 2015 1st rather than a chance at McDavid.

nobody is saying give the pick away...I am talking massive return here
I would bet my life savings that the Flames won't be drafting McDavid...Flames were almost 30 points above last this year and next year the usual suspects are gonna be tankyer than ever
