Flames could have been horrible in 2015 and gone scorched earth like many fans want them to do trying to get a generational talent like McDavid. They could have gutted their team, trading players like Gio, Brodie, Hudler hell even Backlund. Just for Oilers to win the lottery and Flames draft a Dylan Strome. It’s even harder to tank now with the current lottery system then it was when the Oilers were tanking. There is no science behind this, just need to hope Flames find that stroke of luck needed at some point in the future.
