I don't think it's quite as dire as some of you do, but do you think it's possible that one of the Top 4 drafting teams would trade down?

We have holes throughout the lineup. I may be the only one, but I hope we keep all three of our first round picks.

I don't see why they would. They don't want to draft outside of the top 4 any more than we do.

At this point, winning the lottery looks like the only thing we can hope for.

Doubtful, but we only need to get to 5/6 to address a major need.

Nope. Not in this draft. Fans that think the Flames are going to be able to move that Penguins pick to move up are going to be very disappointed. If the Flames finish 11th that's where they are going to be picking.

Who knows, but now instead of drafting top 3 and having 2 other 1st rounders, we might have to give up all 3 first rounders just to go back to drafting top 3 (if anyone is even willing to move down). Well, I guess we are going to win the lottery. We are bound to, right, after every break going against this franchise for 20+ years? Jebus owes us one time.

True....although the Avs have made some dumb-ass decisions lately.

I can't believe after making all these changes after the deadline that this team is still going to pick after the Oilers.

The flames winning all of these games is a tragic comedy.

All you can do is laugh.

Truly hilarious.

Would a team accept all the firsts for Monahan/Lindholm?

Maybe a bunch of our young guys learning to WIN instead of learning to LOSE is actually worthy dropping down in the draft.

Maybe we can bundle our first with St. Louis' first and get the fifth overall pick.

Most of these scrubs won't even be on the team. Who cares?

I'm glad no one is taking my blood pressure right now, seeing us winning is sending it through the roof.

I'm starting to wonder if there is a league wide conspiracy to ensure the Flames don't pick top 10. Ducks, Wings, Wild, Coyotes all with important points on the line play their worst games of the year against a Flames/Heat roster. Stinks.

Or could the Flames actually be not terrible?
