Flames have had one top-5 pick ever, I think? Could be wrong. Sometimes they find stars like Fleury and Gaudreau when other teams get scared off by their size.
Hope they get a bunch of 1st rounders the next few years.

If you look at the draft over the years the stars show up all over the first round. You look at a few of the teams that took the scorched earth plan and they are worse off than the Flames.
With a salary cap you need a combo of good trades, good scouting/drafting, good player development and some free agent pick ups.
