Thing is, mimmicing cup teams is a fools errand. They're only a cup team until they're replaced. FLA in the Barkov era has only just gotten over the hump with two very fortuitous trades in Chucky and Bennett. And before that, signing Bobrovsky to what at the time was considered the biggest albatross contract. And Maurice was just another run of the mill coach. Wasn't too long ago we were all talking about the "Dallas model". Now it's the FLA model and it could be the Edmo.....hahahah..I can't say it with a straight face. I'll probably stop taking hockey seriously if the Edmonton model wins the cup.

You're not anything until you become something.

Anyways. The Flames will draft who they draft.

And I'll still warn folks from relying too much on "the list" this draft. It's going to be all over the place after ....well I'm guessing after pick #8. And even then there might be some variance within the top 8.

It's not a great draft.
