I think a lot of posters in this thread are kind of arguing past each other, on the assumption that accepting one of those two points means you have to reject the other.
The good news is that both the 2026 and 2027 drafts are supposed to be better at the high end. The Flames will have plenty of opportunities to suck.

100%. But goriders seems to believe this team is actually at a point to be competitive without building through high pics in the draft. I mean he literally mentions three good goalies and possibly
too much depth on defense and needing to simply add a good centre through free agency. That's delusional takes on where this team is at.
