But the elite goaltender is our rookie. It's crazy what's happening.

Who says we need top picks to get elite players? Dustin Wolf was selected in the 7th round with nearly the last possible pick.
Flames have done just fine making picks outside of the top ten and the first round. While it would be nice to have a franchise center right now too, I suspect the Flames will find a way to piece together a pretty great team with their drafting prowess. It's also a hard cap league, and some star players will become available to supplement that drafting. Trades happen too. There isn't one way to build a team.
