The top end of this draft is pretty good even past Matthews and Laine.

Puljujarvi is a good playmaking RW
Chychrun is basically a slightly shorter Ekblad
Nylander is a more physical version of his brother
Tkachuk plays like his old man
Gauthier is a quality goal scorer
Sergachev is similar to Provorov (some areas hes better and others he's worse overall about the same)
Dubois looks similar to Ryan Johansen.

A lot of talent, it just depends on what you're looking for. Each of those guys would be a great add to the overall talent in the organization and with how the Flames are playing, it's looking like a guarantee that one of those names will be added.

A worse record just means that we are more likely to get one of the better players on that list.

None of this of course is the ideal, but the Flames are tied for last place with 32 games remaining and are almost 10 points out of a playoff spot. It's not going to happen unless the Flames win 9 of 10 games before the deadline and even then the Flames would still need to win 12 of the 22 games left after that at a minimum. Virtually impossible.
