You're going to have to accept that the Flames organization. Have zero intent on sucking hard enough to land a top 3 pick. It's just not in their DNA.

But they were OK sucking hard enough for multiple 4-6th picks overall in the franchise history ?
I think the Flames thought /were prepared they would be a bottom 5 team last year . I’m not sure they don’t think the same this year ….
