I think if the Flames really leaned into the tank they would have a much likelier chance of being the next Buffalo or Columbus than they would being the Penguins or Blackhawks.
As long as this team keeps acquiring and actually making picks they will be in a great spot to build a contender as long as the drafting remains strong. Keep it up with the multiple first round picks in 25, 26, and maybe 27 this team can have a strong foundation of homegrown talent.
