The Flames organization sure loves to point at the worst teams in the league, and forgets to look at the top teams and how how they became top teams.
You can't point to following the Dallas model and with the same breath you say the draft is such an inexact thing. That's some mental gymnastics right there.

They are following the Dallas model somewhat but more the Carolina model. It pissed off team tank but their approach seems to be to accumulate a crazy number of picks and prospects and hope that a number of them hit. They also seem keen on trading almost all vets for picks and prospects. Will it work? Who knows, but that is their approach. Make almost no efforts to win, sell off most of their good players and accumulate picks and prospects.
