Sure, I don’t think anyone here is saying a top 5 pick or two wouldn’t be welcome. I’m happy to take as many as we can get over the next 2 years.
That said, I don’t think it should be the goal for this organization. If it happens, awesome. Look for Ward to that player joining the team and hopefully having a long term impact.
There's one poster here who, yesterday or the day before, was absolute in his belief that the only way to build a team is by picking in the top 5, repeatedly, as part of a rebuild process. I think that’s naive and not not as simple and straightforward as that person thinks. The Flames aren’t in position to do what he believes is necessary.
