this organization has never had a top 3 pick since the Atlanta years. While it sucks that Flames are in the Matthews hunt, there's no shame in it ... heck, a lot of the top teams right now have had multiple top 3 picks in the last 10-15 years. Chicago had 3 in a span of 4 years, Tampa Bay had 3 in a span of 6 years, Pittsburgh even had 4 consecutive top 2 picks. L.A., St. Louis, Washington, Colorado and the Isles had multiple top 5 picks including 1st overalls (except for L.A., they "only" had a 2nd).
Potentially picking top 3 for the first time in 40+ years is not "Edmonton level of bad". As long as they pick it up again next season, everything's fine.
