I really like this strategy that Conroy is using to rebuild the team. He's playing the cards he's getting extremely well and isn't trying to overplay his hand. He's quietly built out a prospect base that forms the supporting cast of bottom 9 forwards and bottom 4 defense. He's had one A+ pick so far and turned that into a top-2 defenseman.
At this rate the flames will only need one or two disastrous seasons to find their franchise forwards, and then will be off to the races.
One of the great things about normal distributions is that you don't need to be terrible team to have a terrible season. You just need to be a subpar team with bad luck.
