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.

Looking back, what would you have done to get Lefleur, Potvin, Lemieux, Lindros, Crosby, Kane, Stamkos, Tavares? If you're not making the playoffs and you have a shot at these kinds of players you have to do whatever it takes.
