I think its underblown. You want championships, you need elite draft picks. You want generational talents, you need a shot at drafting them. There's no way around it. Every championship calibre team has had them. If you ever want to see a generational, or even exceptional talent in a Flames uniform, that is the path. Those are the players that do the things that win cups.
