We aren't. We actually have good depth in the prospect pool instead of throwing the good kids to the wolves. However, championship teams always have at least 4 top players on their teams and the easiest way to get them is by picking in the top 5. This draft has 7 or 8 really good players, but two of them look like the best players since Crosby except McKinnon. I want the Flames to be a championship calibre team in 3-4 years. The easiest way to do that is to be terrible. Chicago was. LA was. Pittsburgh was. Boston and Anaheim got lucky getting great players deep in the draft.
