OK but if the Flames lost every remaining game, they'd pick in the bottom 10, right? So by definition, you have to cheer for the Flames to win some of their games.

They just need to still be in contention by trade deadline.
After that, playing for .500 or slightly under should do it for a pick in the early 10's.

Yep, thats where I am.. put poster I was quoting was asking why we would be cheering for the occasional Flames win.

Yeah just seen that.
And for the record, I don't see them crumbling hard just because of Wolf. Unless he is getting injured.

The competition is strong this year. Team drafting curently 9th is the Pens and 10th Detroit. The longer Calgary stays afloat the better. It would require just a bad sequence in the last 10 games for them to drop a few ranks.
Calgary is probably somewhere between 11-16th. I see them getting bumped from playoffs but who knows.
Give the closeness of the East, we could realistically finish with the 7th overall pick in the draft or make the playoffs. Once that happens who the hell knows.
No matter what happens, I am making both picks available for a top 4 RD....or packaging them to move up and get the best prospect possible.
We do not need both 1sts this year with 7 picks in the next 3 rounds. Package everything and move up as much as possible. Or make a homerun trade that brings us a top piece in return to fully complete the rebuild.
We are on the cusp.

Absolutely agree. Moving up as much as we can should be a priority.

Big loss by Florida tonight. They are now only 7 points ahead of us and Ottawa and we have 2 games in hand.
The entire pack of teams is right there with us, there is a very serious possibility they fall back with the pack and are fighting for their playoff lives like the rest of us. They are not that good.

Call me crazy but I still think there is a chance we get Florida's pick instead.
With the craziness in the East and the numbers of teams fighting for a playoff spot, the Panthers are only 7 pts ahead of the Habs with 2 more games played.
In the hypothetical scenario Ottawa and Montreal win their 2 games in hands, they will be 3 pts back of Florida.
Although Calgary is a worse team than Florida, the West has more crappy teams so Flames only need to beat Utah and St. Louis basically for the last spot.

...they're a defensive mess without Ekblad...they'll be far tighter defensively when he's back & still make it...
