I'll never understand how people can say "look at Edmonton" as a way we should build the team.
They literally drafted 5 times 1st OA in a decade and then lotter lucked their way to McDavid and somehow we need to emulate that for success.
Florida Got Huberdeau 3rd, then then Barkov 2nd and Ekblad 1st in 4 years.
Again, lottery luck. Flames have none.
But okay I guess. Sign me up!
Trust me, I want a top 3 pick as much as the next guy. But its never guaranteed and with our luck we'd find a way to have the best odds and still get screwed.
