Holy hand wringing.
For any of us to say he's wrong because the 2011 draft was apparently amazing is so ridiculous.
What, we can tell how amazing a draft is based on the number of players that are doing average-good in the minors? Sven is the only guy who has emerged from that draft and even HE isn't very good yet.
I mean hey, Ashasx can hammer out how there's no disputing that something he believes to be true is without question more valid than what Burke believes to be true, but I'm not sure how someone can be so full of themselves. Considering there is zero evidence thus far that 2011 was a great draft or how 2013 compares to it, maybe a bit of chill is in order. At most, you can debate the merits of the draft. But a draft without any bonafide NHLers being fantastic without question? Yeah, riiiiight.
I think there is a little bit of "prospect blindness" stemming from the fact that the Flames did so poorly for so long, that one decent looking draft suddenly looks incredible simply by comparison.
