Queasy was the mildest way to describe many fans' feelings in 1999 when the Flames and Rangers swapped 1st picks as part of the Savard trade, only to see golden boy Jamie Lundmark fall to the Rangers, leaving the Flames to pick Saprykin.
Then neither player turned into anything special.
Fans gut feelings on draft day are a poor judge of results.
