Our farm system is ranked around 20th, and while we have promoted some nice quality pieces recently , we don’t ever hit on goalies - causing us to waste tons of picks and then have to pay for a elite FA, and we can’t develop forwards to save our lifes
We can’t even fill out a 4th line and 3rd D pairings with cheap energetic youth. Instead we keep trading picks (part of the problem) and signing players to fill out these spots
Just another one of this teams many problems
Anyone who thinking we are anywhere except bottom 1/3 in drafting is delusional

In the last 5 years? So only since the Matthew Tkachuk draft in 2016?
You realize that hardly anyone has any players from 2018 onward - that’s Brady Tkachuk’s year and he and Svechnikov are the only 20 goal guys. Then 2017 there’s Petterson and Hischier (and he only did it in his rookie year and not since). So 2016, Calgary drafted Tkachuk who is one of 6 20 goal scorers (the others are Matthews, Keller, Laine, PLD, and Debrincat. Keller’s only done it once, as a rookie.
So Calgary has drafted as many 20 goal scorers as 9 other teams and more than the rest in the last 5 years.
