Having Winnipeg and Edmonton ahead of us in the standings could be the difference between drafting Patrik Laine, who's a big body righty, and Mathew Tkachuck, who's a smaller lefty. Or maybe it's the difference between Alex Nylander, who's a righty forward, and Chychrun, who's a lefty defenseman.
Since people want to get better next season, which draftee fits this team's needs better? Technically "cheering for losses" also puts the Flames destiny in their hands a little bit, which ultimately helps them get better.
Luck is for the prepared
