Yes, it's probably too late for this season, but him playing better is a massive boost for the organization - worth far more than the difference between the 12th and the 15th pick.

This. If Markstrom and Huberdeau pick it up, that’s a head start and makes me way more optimistic about next year.
In 2020-21, Gaudreau had 49 points in 56 games (to lead the team no less) and Markstrom was a pedestrian .904. The Flames finished outside in a finish remarkably like this season. The next year Gaudreau had 115 and Markstrom was .922 and the Flames had 111 pts.
