First off, you credited Nashville with 35 phantom goals. They actually have 107. Definitely better than Calgary, but entirely a function of Victor Arvidsson having four years of experience vs. Tkachuk having two.
At a glance though, it would appear that the Flames are actually well above average in this metric. There are not a lot of teams with more goals over the last four drafts than Calgary's 79, and those that are above almost inevitably had one or more picks in the top three overall.
So, if you want to put all your chickens into this one basket, then the indication is that Treliving is doing well. Though, of course, his screw up with this year's draft is going to hurt that.

Damn, you're right, not sure where those extra Nashville goals come from. Must've counted Fiala twice.
Do you want to go through and do the entire league in drafted goals for the last 4 years? I'd be interested in that.
