I don't see the picking itself as the issue.

It's a combination. Not enough picks have been a problem. But so have the players selected been a challenge. Treliving was terrible at asset management and the prospect pool suffered as a result but the pool is poor because of some of the whiffs they made. We'll see if this draft signals a philosophical shift and a change in the pool. The next big thing is development. Flames need to improve there as well. All aspects (picks, philosophy, and development) impact the pool and the Flames have to improve in all aspects.
