And Duclair is doing better than Sam
You win some you lose some, Flames entire roster are guys other teams passed on or traded...including the best line in the NHL.
It's about time we got over it...did Canes fans bump a thread everytime Lindy got a point?
I swear some posters like SB more than the Flames

Looking at the 2014 1st round, there sure were a few disappointing picks. Bennett was drafted pretty much where he was projected. In fact, some thought he might go in the top 3, and for a short time some thought that he might go first overall. He was the #1 ranked NA player by Central Scouting, but then ended up being the 3rd NA prospect picked. Perhaps the other teams picking ahead of us had some concerns about his upside. Personally, I remember hoping the Oilers would pick him and we would get Pissy.
After the Bennett pick, there were quite a few whiffs, but a couple of steals in the mid and late 1st round. It was kind of a weird draft.
