We’ll I will have to concede this to you then . If the goal is 2 playoff series wins every decade the Flames can absolutely do that again without a top 2 pick!

Strange that the argument for not needing to tank to build a winning team would be the Flames “success” doing it the other way.
I think the only teams that have had less playoff success than the Flames since 2005 are Columbus, Minnesota and Buffalo. Toronto too.

Interestingly, Minnesota is another team that has never really picked at the very top of drafts.

The only teams that haven't picked 1st overall are Nashville, Calgary, Minnesota, San Jose, Seattle, Vegas, Carolina, Anaheim, and Vancouver. All western teams except Carolina. Of these teams, only Calgary, Anaheim, Carolina and Vegas have won cups.
