I'm not suggesting they are anything spectacular (although I do expect that with the addition of this year's picks the Flames's group will begin to look like one of the better ones), but in the context of achievement this is actually a pretty big deal. I argued in my post that if the team is in contention for the playoffs next season, with the current group of young players, and with prospects in the pipeline, then this is actually a very impressive accomplishment that bodes very well for their future. That is all.
