The worse thing the team can do is to over achieve and stock up on average talents. It's definitely way more advantageous to under achieve for the upcoming once-in-a-lifetime draft for the Flames.

This is probably pretty obvious to most, but I don't understand the reasoning behind the posts for Gaudreau or Baertschi breakout season. It's like, the Flames are barely into their rebuilding process and some of us are expecting the Flames to be a Cup contender in 3 to 5 years! Maybe some people don't realize that rebuilding an NHL franchise is not the same as rebuilding a WHL team like the Hitmen.
So your idea is to tank? I'd rather play our butts off and draft 4th again than tank. We were rewarded with Bennett because of it, who imo could have easily been drafted 1st OA.
