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?????

IMO they have been amongst the worst in the league over the past 15 years in picking in the first round which has not improved under Darryl Sutter. That can't be denied as outside of Phaneuf, Stillman, and maybe Morris (who was actually a pretty fairly calculated reach when picked) it's been failure after failure but they have actually done better after the first round over the years. Overall not the worst in the league but definately bottom ten. Not sure though if it's a scouting issue or an organizational issue however as even when the Flames to draft skilled players with potential they are usually developed poorly especially when being brought into the NHL level.
