I hate when people say there is no pride in wanting the team you cheer for to finish last. This year the flames are bad, like thy suck bad. I'd rather draft a really good young player and get better sooner then finish with pride and draft another non impact player. And before you say "that worked for the oilers" or something like that, do you really think the flames management group is as idiotically bad as them? The flames have drafted really good players with the 2 high picks thy got, I trust them to do it again. Finishing low and getting a high draft pick this year would improve this team in the next year or two. Finishing with pride and drafting 12-15 will keep the team a bubble team long term.
