Honestly i don't want the NHLs mandate to have anything to do with success. Being labeled a bunch a dirty cap circumventing, lottery gifted, blah blah blahbitty blahs doesnt appeal to me in the least. Well get there on our own power thanks very much.
Things are looking up and we seem to forget . Im grateful weve seen IMO some good changes , great draft, promising prospects, building on nthe way.

Why do you use Edmonton as an example? Why not Florida, Colorado, Tampa, St. Louis, Washington, Pittsburgh, Chicago, LA? All these champions were built on lottery wins/had top-5 picks in key positions.
Having the picks guarantees nothing, but not having the picks all but guarantees no Championship.
If the Flames can manage top-5 picks in both 2025 and 2026 and they don’t blow those picks, I’d say they’re giving themselves a legitimate chance to really turn the corner. The key, outside of gaining those top-5 picks, is as easy as Conroy being one of the top-5 general managers in the league. I love the guy, so I hope he becomes just that.
