Anybody who laments the Dougie trade is bitter because some of the forwards who went in that area like Connor, Barzal and Boeser all had outstanding rookie seasons and the Flames biggest weakness this past season was depth scoring, especially from the forwards.
Of course, if we had kept those picks and drafted Barzal for instance, sure the forward core would look much better, but there would be a huge hole at defense and we wouldn't have had the leading defenseman in goal scoring.
