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.

I would play Ortio and Nakladal every game from now on. Plus maybe a few more young guys.

Not tanking but playing with no fear of losing, trying different styles and line combinations and build the team at the same time. Its a rare opportunity to try whatever they want. And hey if they do well and finish 5th or 6th last, so be it.
