I would be happier saying at least the first round pick is a player for us, despite not living up to the potential of a first round pick vs him doing well elsewhere.
At this stage, first round pick means nothing. He was behind all of those guys (in the AHL!).

If he can truly turn it around, good on him, but I don't see this signing as any evidence of a "mistake" from the Flames. At worst, it's a "meh".

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
