Flames won't ever suck for a sustained period of time like that and thus we'll be stuck in this cycle of mediocrity forever.
Unless we get Eichel.

Or if you’re Vegas, or Colorado, or Tampa, or Washington, or the Leafs, pick a contender.
Tampa hasn’t drafted in the 1st round 4/7 years. Doesn’t seem to hurt them.
####, Calgary during the Iggy years.
Probably should’ve tried turning the picks that became Chucko, Pelech, and Nemisz into real players.
Probably should’ve offered Dion to Boston when they wanted Regehr and we wanted to send them Leopold.
What might have been.
