That’s gonna happen even to teams with good scouting (not sure if ours fell into that category at the time), which is why you help minimize the pain of busts by sheer quantity. I’m convinced that if the Flames kept all their picks since then, avoided UFAs and stuck to tweak level trades, we’d have a higher ceiling and more cost efficient roster today with a longer competitive window.
