I'd much rather the Flames pick in the upper top 10 and have some pride and competitiveness than instill the culture of loss for a higher pick.

This whole idea is a load of BS. Almost all the elite teams in the league right now were terrible before they got good. You take two of the worst organizations in the league and try to use that as proof? People loved to use the Islanders as an example as well but I guess this doesn't fit as good anymore.
