It is somewhat ironic the Flames organization benefited a lot from the university pipeline in the 80s and early 90s when it became large source of overlooked NHL talent. Gary Suter drafted in the 9th round, Joel Otto undrafted, Colin Patterson undrafted. Paul Ranheim was drafted relatively high in the 2nd round, but was an important player too.
