I think what’s clear is that the Flames need elite talent, the kind of talent you can only hope to find high in the draft. And a goalie (notoriously reliable, those goalies, that’s why teams build around their goalies all the time and they’re the highest paid player on the team) and one Dman who had a really good draft+1 in junior league is not gonna cut it. And yeah odds of winning the draft lottery are slim but so are the odds of lucking into a kucherov or point, much more remote, I’d rather take my chances with the draft.

I actually think their last rebuild was on track until the Hamonic deal
