I think that lack of conviction is the real "complete suck."

I dunno. I think getting pick #4, #6, and #6 over 4 years is close enough to "embracing the suck". 3 picks right around the top 5 mark should be enough to build any franchise.
There's lots of reasons why the Flames aren't at the top of the standings right now, but sucking hard and drafting high enough aren't those reasons.
