The Flames since Sutter took over were not in a position to take risks with their picks. This is a team that had nothing when Sutter took over. NOTHING...so the best action is to rebuild is low risk low reward, especially when you have guys in certain positions that are super stars and proven. And hope that some of them develop but they have Pardy, Gio (not even drafted, doesn't that count?), Moss etc...getting guys not drafted or in the later rounds that have a regular role on the team is pretty good, and that is 3 guys right there.
Anyways not sure if comparing now to 80's is fair, different era, different time, different situation.
