Then Sam Morin (not flames) then Kerby Rychel (yes.)
So out of the 5 players who saw the NHL least, the flames had 4 of them at one time. Hell, most players drafted in the 2nd round of this draft played more than any of those guys.

Hey.. at least guys played in the AHL. Most of the other draft picks that year didn't even make it that far. The 3rd rounder - Kanzig - barely even got in any AHL games before going down the ECHL. The only explanation for that pick was that whoever made it got hit on their head and thought they were back in 1997 or something where being 6'7 was all you needed to be an NHL defenseman.
