No matter how badly you do in the standings, the odds are still against you in the lottery.
He doesn't. Nobody is saying that he can or should. I certainly didn't say any such thing.
It makes the team make money instead of losing it. Silly question, silly answer.

The Flames are under the cap by more than they will make from playoff revenue.
On top of this, if they build back up again and we have 2nd-line players as 'stars' (like we have now), how soon will apathy set in? Imagine the brand new building not selling out in year 3. Tickets will take a jump with the new building. Can you imagine if the building is not selling out by season two or season three?
It isn't just as simple as make the playoffs. Even if this is the argument, then they better make sure they build a good team, because they were a cap team that didn't make the playoffs consistently, and if they did, were bounced in the first round usually.
