i think a lot of posters were surprised that it wasn't lottery protected 1st rounder... I mean, Calgary barely made the playoffs, got swept in four games and just traded for a 35 year old goalie...
not sure how anyone in management could think that the playoffs in 2018 was just going to be automatic.
