I think the only hope we're gonna get is when the wheels totally fall off of this team after the generational draft pick years where the Flames don't pick up any players of significant value. Flames will still be a perennial mediocre bubble team - may or may not make the playoffs. When they do, they'll get bounced in the first round anyway. My only hope is that there is a wholesale management change and a mentality build this team not only to make the playoffs but to go as deep as possible every year. "Yeah, but we're trying to do that every year already" cliché BS with the teams that we have just doesn't cut it.
