Of course, players can surprise and become core players, the way Brodie has. On the other hand, players can disappoint. Just look at Oilers fans counting their chickens before they've hatched. And I'm sure Jets fans figure they have it made in the shade with Kane, Scheifele, Trouba, and Ehlers. Maybe they do. I wouldn't be so sure.
I still think the Flames are 1-2 blue-chip prospects away from having an elite prospect base.

I agree with you other than Baertschi. I think if we can find another gem in this years draft. And it sounds like that's a pretty good possibility. We should eb looking not too bad.
