Watching a team with no shot at playoffs for a while year isn't

I could see teams like Edmonton and Buffalo demanding an investigation into the lottery if that happened... Accusing foul play. They would just not be able to comprehend how all their suffering would go unrewarded. Even though the suffering is self-inflicted by being terrible organizations and tanking for the sole purpose of getting McDavid. It would be the sweetest of justice for the hardest working team in hockey to get that pick.
However, the point is moot because the flames will make the playoffs and it's because of the steps that every player on this team has taken to be better and work harder. Perfect example is Monohan... It's incredibly rare for a player to improve every aspect of their game as well as he has. His ceiling is so hard to read cause he seems to keep getting better and better... Who knows how good he can be? I know people like to temper expectations but he reminds me more and more of toews. We are very lucky to have this kid as part of the core of this team.
