Oh I'm sure you would find it splendid. Not because of the Flames being in the playoffs or successful or any of that... but because you get off on seeing unhappiness befall people you disagree with.
If they made a big playoff push only to end up just short of the playoffs, I wouldn't exactly call that splendid. Would you?
This is true of every junior player ever... what's your point?

I don’t get off on others’ unhappiness…I get annoyed at the constant theme hammered at us that losing is good and high picks will save us. There is no real evidence that is true. Lots of teams get high picks and go nowhere worthwhile. Some…occasionally…like COL do…but it’s neither a slam-dunk nor an axiomatic truth. It’s a belief. I don’t believe it.
Would I be happy (happier?) with a high draft pick? Maybe. Depends what they do with him.
