Huberdeau, 3rd overall
stop crying

Its a 32 team league, they probably won't win the cup no matter what they do. Some people need to learn just to enjoy hockey I think or its not really worth it. I mean the Oilers tanked for 15 years, won 4 lotteries, got McDavid and Drai, and STILL can't win a cup. Tanking has never gone so "good"/lucky and its still not enough.

Flames have multiple firsts and the 2nd most cap space in the NHL to go along with a top rookie goalie. Its not so bad TBH. If the season ended today they drop 5 spots for their first, first round pick. Its really not the end of the franchise.
