Look at these gems:
Daniel tkatchuk (sp)
Downie (Criminal)
Rico Fata
Brent Krahn
Matt Keetley
Leland Irving
The list goes on and on.
Is there an unemployed Head Scout out there somewhere?????

Tkaczuk had some brutal injury problems..........that was bad luck. He was a great junior. Any other team would have drafted him at the same spot. I remember Gord Miller saying it was like 'Christmas in June' for the Flames when he fell to the team. No fault there.
When did the Flames draft Downie?
Fata was iffy.........huge speed, not big in intelligence. Big risk, big reward. Didn't work out.
Krahn had injury problems. He wasn't a bad pick, just bad luck.
Keetley and Irving are still too early to tell.
