Wow, easy there champ... I said "I think the idea..." not "the fact is..." I personally think the Flames are starting to actually play good. I think they'll win about 4 of their remaining games and other teams just seem to be doing everything they can to tank. I don't think it's out of the scope of reality for the Flames to finish ahead of at least one of the sabres, canadians or coyotes. It's also possible for teams that finish ahead of the Flames win the lottery and move ahead of them. The Flames are looking at being in the 6 spot now and I think they'll pass at least 2 more teams if not 3 putting them around 8 and if other teams win the lottery, they fall further.

It's not misinformation, it's an opinion. Knowing the Flames luck, they'll end up getting a lower than expected pick but that's my opinion. Maybe you should open yourself up to the possibility that odds don't always guarantee anything... so there's a 3% chance they finish with a pick lower than 8 and then there's a chance that other teams win the lottery. It would be the perfect crap storm but it could happen...

The Flames could also end up winning the lottery so who knows. I just think the Flames are getting hot now and will end up being punished for doing so.
