Had the Flames not traded up, would have been very interesting to see how it played out.
But yeah, actually drafting Kidd was never a questionable move.

What bugs me is that NJ drafted a goalie and Calgary drafted a goalie. And yet NJ traded down and used the Flames original pick to draft Brodeur, while the Flames traded up to NJ original pick to draft Kidd. Lou knew something the Flames didn’t.
