It's never good to finish that low in the standings but the thing is, the Flames are still in a rebuild. Last year was awesome and amazing because of how it happened but before the season people were expecting the team to be in the McDavid sweepstakes. This year a lot of people thought they'd continue to play like last year and that's not fair to the team. Last year a lot of things went right and this year they're not. Finishing with a bottom 3 pick would suck but it would help set the team up moving forward. It's not like this team was a contender and fell on their faces so bad they got the pick. This team is still rebuilding the right way.

It's not like they're getting a top 3 pick year after year after year....that would be sad.
