No one is saying it’s impossible - but it’s also just as likely another team drafts a falling elite Center mid / late first then the Flames
It isn’t like all the other teams don’t know how to draft and will let good players fall to us because they are incompetent

The 2007 Ducks also had the following players fall into their laps in a series of events that are extremely unlike to replicate themselves.
-Teemu Selanne
-Scott Niedermayer
-Chris Pronger.
Setting that aside, some of y’all need to dial back your expectations - cup or bust is fine if you’re the owner, or the coach, or the players, but all you’re doing is making yourself miserable as a fan if that’s your attitude.
A fun, likeable team that represents the city well and provides playoff hockey on a semi-regular basis. That’s all you can ask for.
Anything more and you’re just torturing yourself. You want to win a Stanley Cup, buy a team.
