Wow.
How many times do I have to say this: Calgary's drafting has been horrible. We all know this and I have said this over and over. I was not claiming Detroit's draft record was no better than Calgary's.
The point was that Detroit's drafting has not been all that great either - compared to the league overall. Since Datsyuk and Lidstrom, they have actually done pretty mediocre - better than Calgary, yes. But pretty mediocre overall.
Why is this difficult for people to comprehend?
I never made any kind of claim that the Flames' draft record holds up against anybody's.
