Not to get into the ever-cyclical argument on tanking, but teams that win it all have drafted very high at some point.
Even the 2019 Blues... drafted Pietrangelo at a draft position higher than any in Flames history.
Even the 2011 Bruins had a talented second overall pick on their roster.
Even the Tampa Bay Lightning who drafted very well in later rounds, still drafted Hedman at a draft position higher than any in Flames history.
Even the Los Angeles Kings who won with relatively low scoring teams, still drafted Drew Doughty at a draft position higher than any in Flames history.
Pretending you don't need to draft high is a loser culture.
