Yep, if there's anything Feaster is under appreciated for, it's the 2011 draft. There's a good chance that 2-3 of them could be impact players at the NHL level, and a decent chance that all 5 will see play time in the NHL.
Up until this year, that was the most important draft for the Flames in 10 years.

There is no question in my mind that, if all the players were put back in the same draft, they would go top 40.
I remember when the Flames picked Gaudreau that year. Boston was fuming, and Bob Mckenzie had said shortly after that despite his size, that was a huge addition that snuck under the radar. At that point I knew our drafting was turning around.
