Not bad.
I think Calgary traded two 5th rounders to move up and get Aulie in the 4th rounde. I like how Calgary saw Aulie on the board and didn't want to wait around and hope to grab him with their 5th rounders. I wonder if they had him ranked higher, probably were crossing a lot of names off underneath him, and thought a couple 5th rounders was a cheap way to get what they thought was a guy who should have gone earlier than the 4th.
