Idk why we are even talking about the Flames getting a stroke of luck in the draft. Only franchise to never get a top 3 pick, seattle has been around for two years and already was handed a higher pick than the Flames have gotten in 5 decades. The Flames, along with the Canucks, can and should never believe the NHL will give them a top 3 pick. Only after the Oilers took full advantage of their pure ineptness and deliberate tanking did the NHL change the rules. I have zero faith in the lottery ever giving a handout to the Flames. Even when the Flames tried to go full tank the Oilers still won the lottery with getting the 3rd pick in 2014, after already getting 3 first overall picks. The Flames will pick between 8-16 until a genuine miracle occurs. Maybe if the Flames were the New York rangers we could expect a lottery hit combined with being able to poach the best NCAA free agents. Alas we are not that fortunate and not one the leagues darlings.
