So apparently, Calgary is one of the unluckiest teams in the NHL? Maybe the more likely answer is that Calgary's scouting has been not very good?

Until the organization acknowledges that they have been drafting poorly, things aren't likely to change - they'll blow it off as 'bad luck' too...

edit next year you can add Carlson from the Caps to the list - kid looks like a player...drafted 2008...pick 27.
