You pushed back on the idea that getting a top pick is an essential part of a successful rebuild. I took that as you not being serious about a rebuild. It seems lost on you that the past 35 years of Flames hockey are devoid of top 3 picks and also devoid of Stanley Cups.
Where did the Habs get Slafkovsky and Demidov?
And I get accused of making a strawman... lol
Lots of models? Name some cup champions from the past 20 years that didn't have top 3 picks on their roster?

Calgary's in luck then. It has a top 3 pick on the roster.
