2009- O'Reilly, Clifford, Silvferberg, Lehner, Panik, Orlov, Tatar, Lander are all regulars, and Chaisson starting to play well for the Stars this year. That is 8/30 with O'Reilly, Silvferberg, and Lehnar being impact.

Sorry your assumption has just been proven incorrect.

2nd round is more a 25-30% success rate to get an everyday player of that about a 10% chance of getting an impact player. Hence, Flames severely undervalue there 2nd round picks and it has cost them at the draft.

you really showed him...

but of the guys you mentioned only subban is a real Star. where as if you draft in the top 10 there is probably a 50% or greater likelihood they are a star. This draft particularly id rather trade up and grab two guys in the top ten then let the flames try to find a couple "diamond in the ruff" players later in the draft.
