I've been saying this since the end of last season, I didn't think the Flames had a shot at McDavid or Eichel in the first place.
Too many teams will be pulling the plug on their current set ups this year to get a better shot at those two.
It really doesn't have anything to do with Ramo/Hiller. Too many external factors will prevent the Flames getting a top 2 pick. If anything, the Flames goaltending duo is setting up to prevent the Flames from picking top ten. Still though, this is a deep deep draft upcoming. Flames will still do well when their turn to pick comes up.
