Yet here the Flames are, plodding along just being the "Flames".
All rebuilt and mediocre as ####, just like always.
At least we're not the oilers I guess, but come the #### on already. When do we get a real contender to cheer for, instead of an average to maybe slightly above average team full of holes and riddled with inconsistency?
End rant.

its amazing really, what good drafting and developing can do.
they drafted Kessel in 2006 and Seguin in 2010... number 5 and 2nd overall respectively...
since seguin 7 years ago, their highest pick was dougie at #9...
gotta tip your hat to them... of course, they aren't infallible - they could have drafted Barzal, Connor and Boeser in 2015... would be an unbelievable haul if they managed that!
that's why i am not a fan of trading picks... hamiliton i get but Hamonic seemed like an overpayment at the time and he hasn't changed my mind about that on the ice.
