But when they are in the midst of a rebuild and having a down year, there isn't anything wrong with me, a fan, looking forward to the draft in the hopes that we end up drafting a top end prospect who will hopefully help the team I've cheered 35~ years for become a contender and win a Stanley Cup. It just so happens that the higher they draft, the better the odds are that it happens.
It sure as hell doesn't make me a loser, and anybody who thinks it does can go fornicate with themselves as far I'm concerned.

OK fine - my comment was over the top to emphasize a point. Being OK with losing games and looking forward to the draft is fine as a fan I suppose, but hoping they lose because you are looking forward to the draft - as some are suggesting here - is quite another matter IMO. Every roster player on the Flames is at that level because they play to win - always - and I'm sure every one of them would rather go 15-0 to end this down year and just miss the playoffs - then have the team get another high draft pick.
