It's easily worth more than a late first. In fact, this amount might even be worth more than Monahan. Especially when you consider the fact that there is a tier between the top 8 and the picks afterwards.
Also, at 6th OA you have a 15.2% chance of winning the lottery. Rather than 6.3%.
And the prospects might be "middling", but they're also the best non-CHL prospects the Flames have.
I'm not sure how much you've followed the Heat this year, but Phillips and Mackey were great and deserve to play. And even moreso, they deserve to be developed.

Calgary was never really that low though. They had a ton of games in hand. It's like when they were "4 points back" but Montreal had 3-4 games in hand.
They have played .500 hockey it's not like they are on some massive heater. Losing 10 in a row wasn't gonna happen. Especially with this competition.
