Make the playoffs and shock the world.
Do that and the gap with the Florida pick isn't that big a deal.
Add two more first round selections, and don't worry about missing the top ten because a lot of the heaving lifting to make the playoffs have been done by younger players.

If the Flames make the playoffs even if they give up the 17th pick in the draft and sit with 2 picks in the 23-32 range I am okay with it. I just don’t see this being a long term success without adding some higher picks but that could come next year (2026). Wolf having a rookie breakout was definitely one of the criteria for this team to overachieve. Huberdeau finding some form of offensive output was also needed and appears to be only getting better. Zary and Coronato are both on pace for 45-50pts helps.
End of the day this team still has 13 regulation wins in 37 games and have a -10 goal differential.
