That's a good draft pick.
Any second rounder that plays like a first rounder in the two years after being drafted is a good pick.
Brendl didn't improve at all after getting drafted.

You’re arguing that a second round pick who topped out as a bad ECHL player was a good pick because he might have arguably raised his value for a year before it plummeted?
Again junior results mean nothing to the Calgary Flames. We don’t draft to try and win world juniors we draft to try and get NHL talent
He won the memorial cup before his draft IIRC, on arguably the most stacked Junior team ever assembled
