At the very least, at this point, I want a Top 10 pick.
How?

16 teams have fewer points than Calgary does right now...those teams arent going to go roaring past the Flames.

Besides...the Flames are much closer to the playoffs than any sort of decent draft position.

On top of which, trade deadline is not when guys with term left fetch the highest return, that happens in the summer when teams have room and/or can make separate deals to fit others in.

Welcome to the real world.....cheering against the Flames accomplishes nothing you seem to think "helps" the team.
