If there was a year in the last 10 that you'd do that for it's this one. All of the top 3 next draft would've been the #1 this year without a question.

I think it's way too early to call it tanking. By all accounts, management indicated that they were looking at the draft, free agency and trades to improve the team. The draft is over, free agency has just begun and they've made a couple of decent pick-ups and there is still some room for improvement through trades. I think this team will actually be better than last year's. I don't see us being bottom three, not quite in the playoffs but somewhere in between. Lots of time left for management to improve the squad. I'd love to get Eichel, McDavid or Hanifin, but I don't see the Flames gearing up for a run at that...just my opinion though.
