Not sure if I agree here. Since 2006, the Flames have only drafted one D-men in the first round, and two in the second round. The 1st rounder was Tim Erixon, and the 2nd rounders were Sieloff and Wotherspoon. Erixon was moved and never developed here, and we haven't really seen what Wotherspoon and Sieloff will turn into yet. So the Flames haven't really had any 'blue chip' prospects on D to develop. Then you have to consider TJ Brodie, who was a 4th rounder in 2008 and has developed into a great top pairing D-man.
