Why are the Flames better than the Oilers (well, one of the reasons)?:
Brodie - 4th round pick
Gaudreau - 4th round pick
Giordano - undrafted
Ferland - 5th round pick
Ortio - 6th round pick
Bouma - 3rd round pick
Jooris - undrafted
and for prospects...
Kylington - 2nd round pick
Hickey - 3rd round pick
Gillies - 3rd round pick
Rafikov - 7th round pick
Andersson, Granlund, Wotherspoon, Smith, MacDonald, all 2nd round picks
But no worries, McDavid can beat them all by himself

Brodie, Gaudreau, and Giordano are the only impact NHL players on that list and none of them would have been on the Flames top ten prospect list at the same time so I'm not sure what that has to do with this discussion.
