As of right now, the Flames are in 24th overall. With Seattle added to the draft, that has them picking 9th overall which isn't too bad. The Flames are only 6 points up on 30th...if the Flames play down to their potential, they can finish pretty low. I think the Sabres have last place locked in. The one downfall is that they've only played 51 games and everyone else except Vancouver(48) have played more games. The Flames need to really fall off a cliff to get down that low while other teams need to start playing better.

Knowing the Flames they'll go on a tear because games don't matter to them now. The Flames are tied with the Sens right now and only 2 points up on Detroit, those were the teams people made fun of and considered them the worst teams. The Flames are one of the worst teams in the league, it's not just a down year for them. They're just a poorly built bad team. Look at the numbers and see if you can find a reason this team should stay together or give up assets at this point. They're not a few players away from being a contender, they're a few good players from being a bubble playoff team.

Tear it down and burn it. Rebuild properly.
