I think there was a long period of darkness for sure. But I also think it has changed drastically. And I think there are two waves to consider:

1) As ricardodw sort of stated, the Flames used 2 firsts, 4 2nds(?) and a 4th to acquire:

Giordano, Brodie, Hamilton and Hamonic

IMO, that is pretty damn fantastic.

2) They now have:

Kulak, Kylington, Andersson, Fox and Valimaki in the system (and don't forget Hickey as a drafted talent).

They won't all make the NHL, but I think there is a very good chance that there are at least 2 top 4 guys in that group.

All in all, what happened in the 90s is pretty irrelevant at this point.
