The point is that whether it be the Penguins, Hawks, Oilers, Lighting, etc, it always comes back to the lottery balls. It doesn't matter how well run or poorly run an organization is, without the lottery balls falling in their favor they don't get the elite players that brought them success. The Flames will not be able to build a cup winning team or even really good annual regular season team like the Leafs without being saved by the lottery ball.
