As of right now they have 18 picks in the next three drafts. That's a 3 pick deficit.
An 8-10-3 team that is up against the cap and won a total of 1 playoff series in the last 8 years should not currently have a draft pick deficit.

The Flames need to follow what the Predators have done. Preds had two draft picks in each the first 4 rounds. This year they have their 1st, three picks in the 2nd round, two picks in the 3rd, three picks in the 4th. Over two years:
1st x 3
2nd x 5
3rd x 4
4th x 5
5th x 2
6th x 3
7th x 2
24 draft picks over two years, 6 more picks than the Flames will make over the next 3 years. The Flames amateur scouts have been amongst the best in the league, it would be exciting to see what they could do with a significant amount of draft capital.
