Well, those are significantly different probabilities. Most teams dont get lucky drafting where we typically do. Its not just the Flames. The Islanders last year were an outlier, not the norm.
Usually the top 3-4 remain with a slight reordering.
Bottom line though is there's no history of those true "lottery" probabilies to support such a negative outlook.
What's true is if the Flames finish last they're getting a top 3 pick no matter what. Exactly what the franchise hasn't had.

Early days of course but as of now I would say if they are top 5 they are getting a massive piece
The higher the better of course. But one of McKenna, Verhoeff, Stenberg, Roobroeck or Lawrence would all be fantastic
