Mikael Backlund, and let's not forget Dion Phaneuf, just because he's not a defender doesn't mean he is a not a good draft pick.
Mitch Wahl will be. Moss has played top 6. Boyd did as well. Lombardi was a Flames draft pick he's playing top line minutes.
They happen. We just fail to give the Flames credit for anything. Since 2002:
Lombardi
Nystrom
McElhinney
Van der Gulik
Phaneuf (top 2)
Prust
Boyd
Pardy
Sutter
Backlund
all Flames draft picks playing on NHL teams. Some people just refuse to believe the system is working... it is, though.
