Kadri looks like he is growing into a solid player. Luke Schenn is pretty much just an NHL player. Nothing real special there, but he will have a long career. After that, mighty slim pickings. Monahan, Bouma and Brodie alone put the Flames ahead over the same period.
Ultimately though, that is neither here nor there. As others have mentioned, drafting depends on scouting. If Burke has better scouts (or is more likely to listen to them) in Calgary than he had in Toronto, his record will improve.

I don't think he was in charge of Luke Schenn draft. He wasn't allowed to participate iirc as he had inside knowledge of ducks draft. Trader Cliff made that pick. Which I think was a good one.
