Is it too early? I dunno. 7 years is a long time and the head of scouting has been here a lot longer than that. I don't deny that it's improved, but that's relative to the Flames of old, and not the rest of the league. Draft picks in a 7 year window shouldn't have that much lag relative to the rest of the league, that's enough time for them to start really bearing fruit.
I just don't see how one could place us in the upper echelon.
