Flames later rounds in recent years looks impressive
Gaudreau- 11 (Granlund/Sven NHLers)
Kulak, Gillies, Jankowski -12
Monahan -13
Bennett- 14
Andersson, Kylington, Mangiapane -15
Tkachuk, Dube, Parsons, Philipps 16

Yeah, that's true. The Flames have drafted well. I just hope the team allows itself to continue by adding some more picks at the draft and not selling its best prospects for rentals or band-aids. Draft and develop.
I also think that sometimes knowing a prospect makes me think higher of them than prospects in another organization who I don't know, even if the prospects are actually comparable. I'm not saying this is the case in your situation; you may know them all very well. I just think I do this sometimes.
