Florida - finished bottom 3 4 times in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014 but made the playoffs in 2012
Tampa - finished bottom 3, 3 times in 2008, 2009, 2013 but had 80,84 and 103 points in between bottom 3 finishes
Edmonton, Florida, Buffalo and Arizona have been bottom 3 the most. Buffalo is the only team to be dead last more than twice...4 times and they just never dig themselves out of that hole. There is risk taking it too far too.
We don't need to be SJ bad to get a couple top 3 picks in the next few years.

I agree.
But you still need those top 3 picks in 2 years.
For the Flames, hopefully that’s 2025 and 2026.
don’t #%^* that up by signing a stupid Oiler player to an offer sheet.
