I'll never find the link again but the Athletic did an analysis of multiple years (I think it was 10-15) and had the Flames like 2nd or something in return for draft capital.
That's key.
You exceed your draft capital level.
If they continue to do that they'll be just fine with the extra picks in three straight drafts.
