So...another flames mistake on a talented player...whats your point?
After 23 nhl games he had 1 less point than Kane did in his first 23. BTW,13th overall isn't mid-late. not that where your takin should say how ready you are,again.. politics

No, you're right, drafting ranking is all just politics and doesn't represent the quality of the players.
My point is that your comparisons show a serious lack of understanding. As I said, it's like comparing the progression of Monahan to that of Crosby. Don't compare Kane and Sven, it's silly. You're being silly. Silly silly silly.
I don't know what you're not getting, but St.Louis was a undrafted kid who didn't do very well. He spent 3 years in the Flames system. He was given a shot, it didn't work out. TB gave him another shot and he did marginally better, then, suddenly turned it on. The Flames are responsible for his level of play, they taught him how to be the player he is now. It's hardly the fault of the Flames that he didn't put it all together in time to help them.
Savard spent 2 extra years in junior, 2 years in NY, and almost 4 years in Calgary. How is that comparable to Sven? Giving Sven tough love after 50 games is the same as giving Savard tough love after 6 seasons? Ridiculous.
If you understood why those players are no longer here, you'd understand why your comparisons are hollow.
