The Leafs recently did it fairly quickly after tanking and the Rangers look like the next great young team. They Leafs made some astute first round picks in Marner, Nylander, and of course winning the draft lottery helps but if you want to win the draft lottery or pick top 3 you have to commit to the tank and the Flames have never really done that. The organization has only really been committed to one thing and that's to try to get into the playoffs at all costs and it's resulted in decades of mediocrity.
