** Also of note, in all likelihood Irving is done in the Flames organization, so if the Flames do cut ties with Nemisz, that will leave just Backlund as sole remaining 1st rounder left in the Flames organization from Sutter's tenure.

That is some pretty piss poor drafting over an 8 year period.
I agree with your RFA assessment and think we should give up on Neimez and the others you list as questionable.

As to the drafting comment Phaneuf is still in the leauge and Erixson is as well, and one year we didnt have a pick so 3 of 7 picks made the NHL which isnt terrible give historical drafting performances outside the top 5
