At some point the Flames will play more and more young players with potential and I think we will have 1 rough year and get a top pick.
If we trade Ras and bring in Parekh and Kuznetsov, is it not possible this team slips a fair number of games? IMO, they overachieved last year anyways.
If we struggle the 1st half of the season and sell Coleman, maybe we get a top 5 pick?

This is exactly where I think the Flames can be. You have 24 kids drafted over the last 3 years. There is a lot to be excited for as the Flames more than likely also still get that top 10 pick in the next couple years. If they don't, then they are still adding multiple 1st round picks in the next few drafts to the prospect pool. Building a contender is about amassing and developing talent. I think it is too early to tell where the Flames land as it may take a couple years to see what comes out of the pile of picks.
