Absolutely! A 1/2 C and 2 bottom 6 forwards is a GREAT draft.
Three players from a draft isn't average, it's excellent.
Even the teams that have been really successful in the draft in recent years only typically have 8 or 9 guys on the roster that they drafted. 10 or 11 would be very high.
4 or 5 internal draft picks isn't uncommon, and the Flames had only 1 (I think) at one point a couple years ago.
Getting 3 players in a draft is massive. And it could well be that the Flames got as many as 10 or more in the last 4 drafts!
