A lot of people think all Darryl's drafts were dumb oafs, but besides 2005 adn 2006, I don't think thats really the case at all. Looking at the Flames picks since 2007, bolding useful names:

Mikael Backlund

I'm not sure I really see that big of a difference. I think its just an evolution of Flames scouting that got better, not that Feaster had a magic touch or anything.
