I am just not sure they can do it without a couple picks in the top 5.

So, I dunno if it’s the lack of star power on the Flames to blame, or just parenting skills… (green text, I’m honestly just kidding) haha
Here’s hoping Parekh can fulfill his potential and give them someone to cheer for on the Flames!

Oh I can definitely blame my parenting a bit here. I don't have a lot of nice things to say about being a fan of this franchise the last 15-20 years and I'm sure it's rubbing off on him as well. Watching Iginla, Kipper, JBo, Johnny, Monny...all gone for essentially nothing more than a bit of cap space has soured me. The lack of sustained success just is the cherry on top.
