Still building, but getting closer. On the upswing.

If the Flames are as bad this season as the experts think, a top 5 pick plus the Knights pick could certainly bolster excitement for the team opening up the new arena. A top 5 pick could land them an impact winger or defenseman or maybe the Flames finally receive some draft luck and get McKenna which would turn the tables in the province with McDavid on his way out.
