Maybe this pick will be the savior...I'm not ruling it out. But the way people crow about this pick...sounds like they are banking on it. I'll need more time to crown this pick a champion that's all.
I think that's fair if the team only found players in the top two rounds, but they're found players in rounds 3-7 which is more relevant.

3rd round
Adam Fox 2016

4th round
Adam Ruzicka 2017

5th round

6th round
Mangiapane 2015
Phillips 2016
Pettersson 2018

7th round
Zavagorodniy 2018
Wolf 2019

Not all of these players will make it, but with Adam Fox and Mangiapane already in the success pile they've mined some pretty decent talent.

How many years in a row did we look at Calgary picks in rounds 3 and on and wonder if they'd even be offered contracts?
