My only request is that we can draft a player that can play and contribute on this team next year.

A common thread with all contending teams is a very good to impact player on an ELC.
As far as I can tell, Matthews is really the only one who you can be confident about contributing right from the start next season. Then there's varying degrees of uncertainty. The Finns maybe after a short adjustment, maybe late in the season, depending on their progress from here on.

No reason to focus too much on top-3 anyway. Sounds to me like the Flames would have to be extraordinarily unlucky not to get a great pick.
