The Flames can easily be a playoff team next year without a top 3 draft pick.

I agree with all of this but it still is upsetting. This year has been a near write off from the get go. The team was a tire fire out of the gate and when it looked like they turned the corner and we're going to make a run they flatlined. Shortly after that they go on another huge fall entering the last quarter of the season. A nice homestand and a couple wins against some weak opponents and they have leaped several teams.
This team will be solid without a top 3 pick but adding one of those 3 players could really help build that elite contender for a good 5 year run
