2003
Colorado- 8 picks Calgary-9
2004
Colorado- 9 picks Calgary-10
2005
Colorado-9 picks Calgary-8
2006
Colorado-6 picks Calgary-8
2007
Colorado-9 picks Calgary- 5
2008
Colorado-7 picks Calgary-7
2009
Colorado-7 picks Calgary-6
Total
Colorado-55 picks Calgary-53 picks
So Colorado has had 2 more total picks since 2003, has had less first round picks than the Flames, and on average their first pick is later than that of the Flames.
Maybe you should double check things like this before you post. There are a lot of reasons/factors for the Flames poor draft record, but if you think they are somehow unique in the amount of picks they have had or the location of those picks you should probably compare them to other teams around the league before making statements like that.

As a matter of fact I made a similar comparison some time ago with the ACTUAL criteria I mentioned in my post (top 3 rounds, not top 2 as you listed)
2003: Calgary 3, Colorado 1
2004: Calgary 3, Colorado 3
2005: Calgary 3, Colorado 5
2006: Calgary 3, Colorado 4
2007: Calgary 2, Colorado 4
2008: Calgary 3, Colorado 2
2009: Calgary 2, Colorado 4
The Avs have had 4 more picks in those top 3 rounds and since 2003 they have had 6 more. That's 6 more quality prospects that they've been able to add to the pipeline compared to the Flames.
Not sure why you had to be so pissy in your post. At least I'm trying to talk about the issues and outlining my thoughts on it.
