However, the only team that pass Calgary in points is Vancouver. That's only possible if Vancouver goes 3-0-1 and Calgary goes 3-0.
That's extremely unlikely.
So Calgary is pretty much locked into the 11th-12th picks.
Based on Tankathon, these are the odds (Arizona messes things up a bit):
10th OA: 0% chance
11th OA: 78.9% chance
12th OA: 14.4% chance
The Flames have a 6.3% chance of winning the lottery a picking top 2.
So after picking 11th/12th, a top 2 pick is the next most likely option.
So start looking at who you have 11th, because that's very likely will the Flames will pick. |
At this stage, I hope we don't even use our pick this year. I hope Buffalo uses our pick.
