Anyway, I hope this turns out to be one of those rare cases, and the Flames drafting has been pretty good lately so I certainly have hopes that it can yield something positive.
I don't agree with the organizations handling of Sven at all and think they really mismanaged a valuable asset at almost every step.
Anyway, onwards and upwards....

Sorry, how am I cherry picking? I listed only flames prospects drafted after the first round from 2010-2012. That's 7 players which are NHLers or likely will be next season. We have the same scouting staff for the most part, so there's no reason to think that drafting success in the later rounds can't continue.
I agree Sven was mismanaged at times, but a player who can crumble that easily is not made for the NHL.
