Now, we'll see Burke work his magic and get some real NHL players in the lineup over the course of this next few years. Bigger, faster, with center depth, better d-men, and better goalies. Total rebuild.
Flames had 3 first round picks in the last deep draft and only one was good - that was Monahan. They wasted their picks that came from J-Bo and Iggy trades. Weisbrod is a tool! Even with Monahan, he's not the team's franchise like that of Iggy by any means. Flames need to sink deep and get a franchise player in this next couple of years.

Let's get real here for a second. Do you think franchise players like Iginla grow on trees? Franchise players aren't always found in the top 3 picks. Some of the best players in the league have been drafted 45+ overall. Tanking for picks isn't the answer (Edmonton says hi). Drafting intelligently is more important than getting 1st overalls.
