They could also use the picks and develop the players badly
and still have a bad prospect pool and no Eichel. Not that much of a stretch, it happens.
So getting Eichel and knowing exactly what you have has its merits.
It's unlikely Flames will rebuild while Sutter is here, so a well-executed win now strategy is all we can really hope for. Getting Eichel would really warm me up to the idea.
