That's what the Flames have been doing since 2013 when they decided to rebuild finally.
Picked 11 times in the 1st two rounds of the last 4 drafts. That's +3 for those two rounds and that doesn't include the 1st and two 2nds we dealt to get a 21 year old Dougie Hamilton.
We also had 9 picks in last years draft, which is more than we've had in any draft since 2004 when they still had 9 rounds. Flames also had one of the youngest teams in the AHL, if not the youngest, and they made the playoffs despite being in a division filled with veteran laden teams.
I hope we pick at #16 too, because it's fun. But if Tre can get a player that helps take the team to the next level, and will be a part of it for a while then I'm all for it.
