As for lacking depth that has cost them this year, that is also true, but it is also a product of being a relatively young team with some poor value contracts on the roster. If we are still having this conversation in two or three years' time, then I would concede that the organisation has done a poor job in this regard. We are not there yet.

I don't know TC. You need more than your first round picks to pan out. If Flames haven't churned out any defensemen 3 years from now, I don't think we'll be discussing the current management team and the shot clock starts all over.
