The Blackhawks had the 3rd worst record last year - their leading scorer was Max Domi in 60 games. They had Petr Mrazek as their main goalies.
The Flames are going to be better than that with Kadri, Huberdeau and all of our good defenseman.
You have to be god awful to land a low pick. The Flames trading all those UFAs are still in the Philly type area which gets you the 7th pick.

This was already a pretty bad team with very few injuries, even if Huberdeau bounces back, we will be even worse without Hanifin and Lindholm.
With that said, I'm not expecting a bottom 5 finish. Turning veteran assets into picks/prospects is my hope and drafting well with the picks we have.
