Really sucks to look at our past draft records. Rarely, if ever, Calgary has made a killing at a draft.

To be fair, Feaster got Johnny in the fourth...
You didn't even need to draft him then. He could have likely been acquired for a 6th rounder last summer (or less). At the season ticket holder session Tre said that the Blues were looking for a place for him to play outside their organization only a year ago. They had basically given up on him, and now a year later they might win the cup in large part because of him.
