Before the "suck and draft one" crowd chimes in I know...and hopefully both things happen but IMO the Flames don't have that luxury to just be absolutely terrible like SJ.
Even in the worst of the worst days we had Theo, Iggy, ect. IF someone could get Marner at a value price it could be smart, I never buy the can't play in the playoffs crap...it also takes offence to get there. My guess is Marner is on a deep run with a US team within a couple years...Leaf fans Pokemon face.

Top 3 picks are more exciting than random veteran 90 point wingers.
Demidov would probably sell more tickets than Sam Reinhart.
Any at this point, anything is more interesting to fans than mediocrity.
