They’ll be overtaken by Edmonton and Minnesota in good time, and then hopefully as the season progresses and players are removed the team lands closer to a top 5 pick than the top 10 pick they’re currently slated for.
Right now the team is sitting in the worst spot imaginable. Not in the playoffs, but within some level of spitting distance. Traditionally this team has always tried to hold and sneak in…I still remain hopeful Conroy makes the intelligent move and trades the pending UFAs sooner rather than later.

I think there's a way to have more day to day fun.
Look at win % and not points then the odd victory won't cause you so much pain.
The Flames are 8th in win percentage for a draft pick, and logically there are four teams that are home and cool for top 5 draft spots. Calgary, Buffalo, Seattle and Edmonton are that next tier.
They should stay in that tier if they keep on the pace we've seen ... win one, lose one, lose on in OT, etc.
They're not on a playoff or just miss pace at all.
I get the draft implications, but also get to be happy when they win, which I like.
