Not sure where this team is going longterm. We're 2 years out of playoffs without a top pick to show for it. Based in this year, it doesn't seem like we will bottom out over the next few years.
We dont have the elite talent in the system to be a contender. Parehk isn't having the year I hoped he would.
Destined for mediocrity is the current trajectory, unless some of these kids turn into unexpected superstars.

Yep, this is classic Flames. Of course nothing is a guarantee, but getting a few top picks you are a lot more likely to get some elite players out of that than drafting 11th to 15th.
The one good thing is we seem to have a great young goalie. But we are still missing so many pieces. I really think we are destined to never compete.
