Meanwhile most of the Flames picks we're taken later than their avg ranking, and/or we're ranked much higher at some point this past year.

Not everyone thinks that they did...
Wheeler: Ranking the 2019 NHL Draft’s first-round winners and losers into tiers (Another Athletic article...paywall...)
https://theathletic.com/1040939/2019...rs-into-tiers/
This analysis is broken down into four tiers:
Winners: Teams I believe won out of their competition with sleuth, home-run-level selections given where they selected.
Overtime winners: Teams I believe did well with where they were slotted, even if they might not have picked the exact player(s) I would have.
Overtime losers: Teams I believe could have done better but might, in time, be happy with their pick(s) regardless.
Losers: Teams I believe will regret taking the player(s) they took.
He picks Calgary Flames as Overtime winner...Edmonton as a Loser (which we all knew)...
