The real sore spot is taking Mason McDonald, Hunter Smith, and Brandon Hickey before local product Brayden Point. There is really no excusing that. The kid is in your backyard for crying out loud. How could you not have been tracking him since bantam?

I would hope the Flames staff is tracking all the prospects. Just because he is in your backyard shouldn't matter. The reality is that Point was draft 79th overall, so its not like just the Flames passed on him
The Lightning themselves drafted Jonathan Macleod in the 2nd round 3 picks after Smith was taken. Idiots!
They also drafted Dominik Masin in the 2nd round 1 pick after McDonald.
Fools!
It is just way to easy to make these decisions years later.
