I would also mention the team has been eliminated from the playoffs with several games left in the regular season. Just drafting a player doesn't mean they'll turn out to be a great player. For every draft pick that turns out as well as Tkachuk, there are many more than turn out like Nemisz.

I would probably count Gio as well as he was essentially homegrown even though the flames signed him as an undrafted player.
