Well if the Flames best players who had careeer worst seasons continue to struggle it is a long painful road for the flames. If they are able to be successful then a return to the playoffs is likely. They had 93 points with Huberdeau scoring 60 less points than he did the previous year.
Canucks in 2018 were picking 7th overall and had picked in the top 10 in 3 of the previous 4 drafts with their pick.
