They turned 8 picks (3 in the first round) into one player. That's part of the reason this team is so offensively challenged as they really needed to turn at least 2/3 those first round picks into players.
Yeah, if we had a couple more scorers from those picks contributing on the Flames right now it would go a long ways.

Funny thing is, other than the top 10 or 15 picks, that draft was really a dud. Usually you look back at a Flames draft and you can see really good players taken shortly after the Flames whiffed, but it's not really the case with that draft. Especially in the 2nd round of that draft. Just a bunch of busts really.
