You have to suck, draft high
You have to stockpile picks
You also have to get lucky
Flames could do the 1st two things easily enough. It's the 3rd one where they probably end up getting boned.
They would be like Arizona in the McDavid/Eichel draft.
End up with Dylan Strome
Or they'd be like Philly in the Hischier/Patrick draft. Leap frog a bunch of teams by winning the lottery and end up with Patrick while a team behind you gets Makar.
