and just to further my "being okay with the Flames finishing lower as long as the Oilers and Canucks (and leafs and Jets) get screwed in the process" rant;
I'll gladly go on record that I will happily take ANY combination of the Flames, Oilers and Canucks taking the top three lottery positions over ANY scenario where the Flames finish 5th-9th. Happily.
We're talking about the same Oilers team that can't finish out of the bottom five no matter how many first round picks they add right? And we're talking about the Vancouver Canucks that are majorly declining and need a top three pick PLUS about 3 or 4 young star potential prospects to start their upswing, right?
Give me the top three pick and get us on our way to Cup contenders any day of the week, who cares about our rivals.
