I think we would go to the Brent Sutter era Flames where we would pick 10-15 but not be bad enough for a top pick. Even winning the lotto teams can only move up 5 spots now I believe (could be wrong there).
With Sutter, and Markstrom they would be really playing those 2-1, 3-2 games and likely right in the middle.
I also worry if Johnny walks and Chucky requests a trade they target more win now pieces in a Chucky deal than futures based.
