The Flames came back and beat the Wild in their last game on 2016 to pass Winnipeg in the standings. Then the Jets won the lottery and moved up to #2 which felt like a huge loss. Then Laine had the career he had vs the Flames taking Tkachuk.

If we got Laine instead of the rat, we maybe enter a rebuild sooner and be in the running for Bedard/Schaefer/Celebrini. So maybe that would have been a blessing in disguise.
