Maybe the flames are just the most unlucky organization in the history of the league or maybe it's more related to never having a single top 3 pick in 40 years and only once picking multiple times in the 1st round...

Nope I didn't.
You stated that they got Crosby by being a garbage team.
I stated that they got him by being lucky.
I think my statement is more true than yours.
And yes it underscores how just tanking and focusing on draft picks isn't enough - you have to have some good fortune in terms of when you, how good that draft is, and how high a pick you get in a lottery world.
That's the risk of going scored earth.
