With the new draft lotto rules, a team can only move up a max 10 spots. I think the Flames make the Playoffs, so is there a point to lottery protect it? I don't think that pick has the chance of winning the lottery unless the Flames somehow are bottom 10 in the league.
If that is what is holding things back, you have to trust your coach and players that they will be better than this last season, which as bad as it was, they still were not in the bottom 10.
