Well name 3 superstars the Flames have drafted.

The Wings historicly have done a good jod of developing from within, not rushing players to the NHL then giving up on them or labeling busts one their ELC has expired. One big differnce though is that the Wings do not spend close to what the Flames do on goal tending and never have. It appears as though to them elite goaltending is over rated and they may be right abourt that.
