Cannot quote but I think people are expecting too much from mid-late first rounders.Flames have hit on Gaudreau, Andersson, Mangiapane, and Dube in the later rounds. Compare their success to other NHL teams not what you think they should have.

Greg Nemisz - 25th pick. Only good players picked after him in the first round was Carlson.
Tom Erixon - 23rd. Palmieri was the only good player picked after him in the first round.
Sven - 13th. JT Miller and Armia were picked right after, so a bit of a miss but Sven was looking allstar after his draft.
Jankowski - Real travesty was trading down for him. Miss here for sure.
Monahan at 6 - Successful pick
Poirier - 22nd Best player after him was Burakovsky
Klimchuk - 28th. Literally nothing good until you get to Jarry at 41.
Bennett at 4 - Total bust but he was consensus top 4.
Tkachuk at 6 - Successful pick

Too early to call on these but Valimaki was looking like a great pick before this season.
