So over 36 years, Calgary has picked in the Top 10 only 25% of the time.
1992 - Corey Stillman - #6
1997 - Daniel Tkaczuk - # 6
1998 - Rico Fata - #6
2000 - Brent Krahn - # 9
2002 - Eric Nystrom - #10
2003 - Dion Phaneuf - # 9
2013 - Sean Monahan - # 6
2014 - Sam Bennett - # 4
2016 - Matthew Tkachuk - # 6
That's 5 of the 9 Top 10 picks at # 6.
I'm somewhat amazed that with some of the truly poor teams we've had, that the Flames have never picked in the Top 3.
Edmonton we are definitely not.

Dion was actually awesome for a while
