The best thing to do is to lose as much as possible and hope for that lottery pick to hit. That would be franchise changing, especially in next years draft.
Winning a cup would be possible one day. You need those elite type picks to win and I would be ecstatic.

If it’s not Calgary, I will hope for Vegas to go on a run to the cup final. Mostly because it means denying the oilers a chance but also because Vegas has been susceptible to the Stanley cup hangover in the past… missing the playoffs one year and almost missing another year.
They are also an older team that is injury prone. Injuries to Eichel and/or Stine could be devastating to them. Besides the flames winning the cup in this year, the next best scenario is Vegas winning it and then having a rough season next year to end up gifting the flames McKenna without ever bottoming out.
