The development of those 2 is like the development of Anderson and Kylington on defence. Riitich in goal. Flames internal development really coming along.

2013 - Monahan
2014 - Bennett
2015 - Andersson, Kylington, Mangiapane
2016 - Tkachuk, Dube, Fox
Fox is with another team now, but playing in the NHL.
8 NHLers in a 4 year period is stellar.
Also from 2016, Phillips looks great at the AHL level. If he makes it that will be 4 NHLers from one draft with Tuulola and Parsons still kicking around and not done yet as well as Lindstrom over in Sweden.
Pretty solid, if not spectacular.
Imagine if Bennett had hit his elite projections or they would have hit on someone else later on in that draft, like Point?
