I also recall Feaster stating the 2011 draft will be key in reshaping the franchise or something along those lines. The picks all looked great after their draft +1 year. Sven was already announced the Chosen one. Granlund, Wotherspoon, Gaudreau, Brossiot all had really solid years. Gaudreau really caught everyone's attention with his ppg award winning freshman season at BC.
Looking at that draft today Sven and Brossiot are gone from the organization. Wotherspoon seems to have stalled in development after looking very promising in 2014 late season call up. Granlund has been a solid pro and looks on the verge of becoming a full time NHLer. Gaudreau has become a league wide superstar. Lastly the Flames acquired the 9th overall pick in that draft and Hamilton is a solid top 4 Dman at 22 with high end potential.
