John Weisbrod once mentioned how you hope to get at least two NHL players from each draft - maybe one will be an impact player. The Bruins, unknown to them at the time, had a franchise altering draft in 2006 when they drafted 3 impact players - Lucic, Marchand and Kessel. He said A draft like that greatly accelerates a rebuild because you do in one draft what you realistically hope to do in 3 drafts
It would be awesome if 2011 was that draft for the Flames - Baertchi, Granlund, Wotherspoon and Gaudreau, not to mention Broissoit who was used to get Smid - may be too much to hope for 3 impact players, but 3 or 4 NHLers would be great
