So frustrating. It's so Flames that their highest draft pick in franchise history is floundering.

Ehlers was not hurt in draft year + 1 and played a full year in juniors
Scheifele was not injured draft year +1, had a great training camp and exhibition and played 7 games with the Jets and despite being better than a lot of Jet players was sent back to Barrie
His draft year +2 he was sent back to Junior after 4 NHL games where he dominated 41 pts in 21 OHL playoff games.
Draft year +3 he was finally big and strong enough to play in the NHL and has improved every year.
Bennett missed his draft year +1 AND burnt his first year ELC so he could play 2 extra games against the Ducks where he got a total of 21 minutes of ice time.
