According to Craig Button we got the
5th best player - Matthew Tkachuk
28th best player - Dillon Dube
33rd best player - Matthew Phillips
37th best player - Mitchell Mattson
38th best player - Adam Fox
39th best player - Tyler Parsons
89th best player - Linus Lindstrom

I'd say Craig Button would say we had a very successful draft. We got several guys he had ranked as high 2nd rounders.
Yeah, try and convince me that Craig Button does not get his draft information from his brother Tod.

The Flames draft is confusing. They preach one thing, and do another. Tells me that management is full of ####. They don't give a damn about size or black and blue hockey, they have another goal in mind. Sadly, they play in a black and blue division/conference and that is all that matters. So their grade will be based on the drafts of their divisional and conference rivals, not just on their own selections. System efficacy and system discipline appears to be an important thing to acknowledge. Are teams stocking their systems with players that are likely to have success in the system or set up for failure. To me, that will be what defines the grade for this draft. That will take a few days to go through and boil over.

Grade: Incomplete, and I've got two weeks to submit the final grades.
