I'm tired of the decades of Flames mediocrity. Let's properly tank and build a contender. I know some others feel the same way.

I think when the Flames snuck into the playoffs in 2015, it made young players like Monahan, Johnny, Ferland, TJ Brodie, Sam Bennett etc better players.
If this year's group makes the playoffs, it'll be great for development. If they miss, you hope they miss by enough to draft an impact player top-10.
It really feels like a true tank is out of the question with Wolf being Wolf. Flames drafted Parekh who, in other years, may have gone 1OA. So there's that to cling to.
