The Flames have proven to their fan base when it comes to the draft they dance to a different beat.
For whatever reason the Flams brass just can't resist to go off the board every year at least twice.

Central scouting has proven fairly accurate at determining where players will be picked. Given that two of three Norris nominees were picked after the first round, given that all three Vezina nominees were not first round picks, given that the greatest defenseman of the modern era was drafted 53rd overall, that arguably the greatest goalie ever to play the position was a 9th rounder, given ALL of this, I would argue that central scouting no better at predicting player success past the top 15 than any front office in the NHL.
