But if they managed to slip into the top 10, they surrender the Florida pick still correct?
I mean, unless you're slipping into the top 5, even the separation between 10 and say 15 could be pretty negligible in 5 years anyway.
Theres a chance Florida could go on a heater to finish the season, but hopefully they kinda stay in that mushy middle and the Flames still come out with a decent pick.
I say go Playoffs!

Funny what three weeks will do... when this thread was started, the Flames had lost six of their last 10 and were clearly sliding out of playoff contention, and Florida was pretty close to the top 5 in the league.
The picks were going to be 15-20 apart at that time and for a rebuilding team, losing a top 10 pick for a late first round pick is a big deal.
Florida has now lost six of their last 10 games and the Flames have won 6 of their last 10 (and the last 3 games) making us wonder why this is even being discussed.
Love it.
