ROFL. A bad pick? He's arguably one of the top few players out of that draft class. Obviously they didn't feel he'd be there later. No idea how you can call it a bad pick. It was a horrible draft year and the Flames ended up with two of the top 3-5 players in Morris (round 1) and Lydman (round 4).

And yet regardless of that we had a very successful draft in getting two of the best players in a horrible year. Not sure your criticism there is really warranted. Grabbing another pick likely would've resulted in merely picking another bust. '96 was that bad. Go look at it again if you don't believe me. The Flames had an amazing draft getting Morris and Lydman amongst all that chud.
