The really hard thing about this game, which has been stated by everyone repeatedly, is that the Flames having nothing to look forward to once they’re eliminated. They have given up so many draft picks over the next couple years. The funny thing is Treliving felt so confident this team would make the playoffs he didn’t lottery protect the puck. You know what could make this worse? If the Flames pick wins one of the top 3 picks and Treliving looks on, pale faced, as the NYI draft a franchise defenseman or a superstar RW.
Anyways, the pipeline will empty over the next couple years.
Just give me a GM that patiently drafts skill and speed and patiently develops it. I’m sick and tired of the mediocrity. Why did we trade all those picks?
