Good teams have young players playing these days it seems.
And why is Fox considered a good pick? I thought it was pretty well known at the time he had no intention of signing here.

In 2018 the Flames first pick was in the 4th round. From the 4th on in that draft there have been 3 players play in the NHL totaling 45 games. Problem here isn't bad picking it's lack of picks.
In 2019 the Flames picked 26th. After that selection there have been 3 players play in NHL games. Two with 1 game each and one (Hoglander) with 24 games. Great pick. But that's it.
There have been 2 players (#1 and #3) play in the from the 2020 draft.
So across those 3 drafts there are 8 players in total that have played a single game or more who were selected after the Flames earliest pick.
So nope - the lack of NHL players from those drafts isn't a sign of a problem at all.
