If you look at last year's draft, Arizona forfeited the 49th overall pick and the Flames picked Kuznetsov with the next pick. Kuznetsov is officially the 50th overall pick of the draft.



Either way, let's just win the Cup and let the accountants worry about counting it.

i know when I'm beat.

Stupid technicalities.
