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.

We all realize rebuilds don't happen at one draft. I'm committed to a five year rebuild or whatever it takes. There was nothing out of last season for me to cling to as something I would be happy with going forward and as of today the ceiling of this team isn't a lot higher than last season even with a new coach. Hell as a fan isn't cheering for a basement team. Hell as a fan is cheering for the perennial 14-18 team treading water and doing the same things over and over.
