That's already as good as guaranteed.
I think they should look to hunt for young roster forwards that can help them now and in a few years.
The last thing you want is lose your pick
and not make the playoffs.
Either bomb or make the dance. Being just on the outside and losing the Flames pick is worst of the potential outcomes.
Personally, I have no problem with them cultivating this winning culture before they're actually good on paper. If they keep flipping FAs and expiring players for picks and end up in a wildcard spot in the meantime, they'll still continue to build a prospect base.
It's better than sucking out loud and then not being able to figure out the winning part after getting all the sexy picks (Buffalo, Detroit, Anaheim, etc)
