The Flames have done a much better job of that in the last three drafts, and that's the section run by the current GM in the current set up.

If you want to analyze draft picks in the 80s fill your boots, but it's not all that pertinent to this discussion, at least in my focus.

I want the machine in place to build success. The current machine can't do a damn thing about faulty machines in the past. To harbour that world honestly must mean you like failure and bitching more than logic.
He has done that by stealing from future drafts, which is quite a problem IMO.

We’ll see what he does this summer but he is not going to add three such players without subtracting a lot somewhere.
