Might want to compare the Flames and Oilers winning % over the last decade.
The Flames actual problem is they haven't been bad enough. Everyone other than Vancouver has drafted higher.

I don’t disagree.
On the sample size, the game went through significant change after the 2005 lockout, so that’s how far I looked back.
...if we wanted to, we could grow the data set back further and it doesn’t do the Flames any real favours. 4 playoff rounds won since 1989, there’s no skewing of the data required - we all know the Flames have been an awful team. To tie it back to post about them only having three picks in the first two rounds over the last three seasons, it’s hard to see how this team improves from here on out without a significant alteration to their current path.
I think any trades this season should be geared towards prospects and picks. Have Darryl assess who should be here going forward, and trade away those who aren’t part of the plan for picks, prospects, and young roster players where possible.
