Drafting an 18 year old who gets a look at the NHL as a 20 year old is a significant accomplishment. The Flames picks in 2011 were Wootherspoon and Grandlund.... I am pretty sure that they have more value than almost any 20 year old goalie prospect.

Right now would consider Grandlund and Wootherspoon successful draft picks even if they do not get in 100 NHL games.
