If the season were to end today, the Flames would draft 9th Overall.
Trade away Tanev, Hanifin, and Lindholm and I think you see a team that is firmly going to draft somewhere between 5th and 10th.
This team should be doing what it takes to avoid drafting 10th-16th. That 10th-16th spot, especially with where this team is and where their prospect pool is (completley devoid of top end talent), renders this team irrelevant on a go-forward basis. If Conroy etc., doesn't see that, then they should not have their jobs. The status quo is not good enough...so I'll remain hopeful that Conroy trades all three of them.
