Scratched were Andrei Loktionov (123rd in 2008) and Kyle Clifford (35th in 2009), so all of their drafted guys that contributed last season were drafted between 2003 and 2009. They messed up 2004 completely though. Over those 7 years, they had 65 picks. The Flames had 53 picks over that span. Keep in mind that 2003 and 2004 still had 9 rounds.

To me this continues to validate that no matter what, the draft is a crapshoot.....even if you are drafting first overall.
62 times, it would appaear that the kings screwed up. Toss Ina couple of lucky home runs with guys selected higher than 60 th....
