it's actually not so much a quantity thing, but it's a completely different story when it comes to quality. For example, in 2010-11 there were more Flames draft picks in Abby than this year:
2010-11 (16): Brodie, Nemisz, Cunning, Patterson, Bouma, Armstrong, Baldwin, Negrin, Pelech, Wahl, Watt, Grantham, Carpentier, Irving, Keetley, Ortio
2013-14 (10): Reinhart, Granlund, Baertschi, Ferland, Nemisz, Wotherspoon, Ramage, Sieloff, Ortio, Brossoit
Plus Kulak will probably join them and maybe a couple other junior/college prospects.
Looking at these two years you can really see how the Flames' drafting has improved over the last few years.
