I like the idea of the Flames finishing bottom of the standings next year and drafting McKenna, because it would be nice to have the next superstar for hopefully a decade or two. But I also have quite a bit of faith in the current management and scouting that if they end up finishing between 17 and 26 for the next three years, the team will still have a strong base and should be really competitive.
Based on how this team's management and scouting seems to be built, I don't see them ending up like Ottawa, Buffalo or the before-Mcdavid Oilers, regardless of whether they tank or not.

I just want them to have the best ammo possible because they seem to draft well and the top centers typically go at the top of the draft. Tkachuk, Bennett, and Monahan was solid drafting. Way different look to the team if they are picking 10th overall in those drafts.
