Being able to turn a player of Hamilton's caliber into 3 picks in the first 2 rounds, means you have to be able to afford such a players loss without any immediate lineup return.

I think it’s interesting how they have accumulated or atleast maintained their draft picks while they have remained a very competitive team. Yeah it’s not how they won the Cup but they seem to be avoiding a bottoming out.
Flames conversely feel more urgency to get competitive. Which is understandable given where they’ve been.
I don’t believe Bruins are necessarily any better positioned for the medium range future than the Flames but you have to like their track record.
