Don't know if I necessarily see an uptick yet, but also don't know how to attribute picks to particular scouting staffs.
There are some interesting middle picks in the pipeline now but no one that I'm ready to call an upper roster player yet.

Numerous draft and scouting sites have referred to the Flames drafting of late as sneaky good. It's been a pretty consistent view before and after the 2020 draft.
They generally point to how the system is in better shape than you'd think given the lack of high picks (a solid anti-Treliving complaint).
That brings in the 2020 draft as well, as most felt they did a heck of a job with moving down to add picks, and then drafting well in the middle to end of the draft.
That will take time to prove out of course.
