In the cap-era, the odds are overwhelmingly against you if you don't have top-4 draft picks on your roster.
The fact we got Tkachuk at 6 would be a massive win (and Gaudreau at 104) if they were being added to a team that had a 1st and a 3rd overall already on their roster. That's how you end up a Championship quality team.

I agree.
And if you're scouting department is smart enough to dig up a Norris caliber Dman at 66th overall that's when you might be able to overcome not having that steady diet of top 4 picks when you start your rebuild.
Flames will have to work on that.
