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.

I will admit I assumed there were more!
However, I stand by my premise (Even though my evidence was poor! Appreciate the correction)
We suck and have sucked at drafting for the last 20 years. This is why the team is always getting into the same cycle.
Waste picks to fill out depth. Have less picks so less chances at good players which contributes to poor drafting/player pipeline, so then overpay for depth FA's. Watch team wallow in mediocracy.
The fact that we got a undrafted Norris Trophy winner and a 4th round star and still cant win a playoff round shows how god awful our drafting and player development is.
