I don't really buy those excuses at all beyond the death of Renaud obviously. Every team has guys that don't make because of concussions. Pelech was injured going into the draft so the Flames knew he was a risk. Ryder was taken so low in the draft because he was unstable.
Not really bad luck, more like unnecessary risk taking.
