Agree, and not saying it was a big loss. And these are just two examples. But in both cases, Flames gave up more value than they received and so I wonder if too much weight was given to draft projections.
Not enough data from which to draw to a conclusion, but it is interesting when you hear that Lindholm and Hanafin are being looked at. Two high profile draft picks that have been good, but arguably not quite living up to expectations yet.
