Unfortunately for the Flames I think it is the quieter side because Hanifin has one team he wants to sign with and and most people know it. If there isn't a sign and trade then I am guessing it will run right to deadline and the return will be worse than Lindholm.

I think you are really under estimating how casual most of the Flames fan base is. If their high picks end up like Laf and Kakko than I think attendance will plummet. Getting younger needs to happen but I don't buy into the idea that the fans will show up regardless of the results.
