I may take a lesser package to keep Markstrom from driving Calgary's pick out of the top ten next year as long as it has a good futures add for the team.

This.
I hate tanking, but next year is the one year where they really need to.
If the Flames finish 11-20, the Habs get the Flames pick. If the Flames finish bottom 10, the Habs get the FLA pick. HUGE difference - if the Flames don't get into the top 10, our pick next year will be in the 20-32 range.
Tank next year, get atop 10 pick, then get back to the business of trying to be good.
