I don't really see it as worst case scenario...they will still have a better pick than the 8 teams that lose in round one and the 15 that don't win the cup. Heck half of those teams won't even have a first at all.

It stings the day the season ends but after a couple first round sweeps it gets better pretty fast. 14-16 in this draft will have plenty of good options.
The only time when its really bad is when you trade your first that year...Panthers, Sens, yikes

I hope the Flames make it and go on a miracle run but honestly I would rather finish 9 than get swept in round one or something. Trading your first and missing the playoffs is the worst case scenario, thankfully that isn't happening.
