5 years of 1st round picks leading into the rebuild

2012- Jankowski 21st was drafted as a project player that needed years to make an impact. Sold as a top player if the org remained patient. They waited 5 years to get him in the show. He was okay peaking at 17 goals but fairly meh player overall
2023- Honzek 16th was an older player drafted who can turn pro next year. Team is excited but he is hurt in his draft+1 season

2011- Baertschi 13th. Highly skilled prospect that had a monster draft +1 year scoring 2ppg and lighting it up with 3 goals in 5 games on an emergency recall. He fizzled super quick and ended up busting. At least the flames capitalized and got the Andersson pick for him in a deal
2022- NO PICK (toffoli trade)

2010- NO PICK (Jokinen trade)
2021- Coronato 12th he looks to be a legit top 6 winger prospect. He had to be sent down but has been really strong on the Wranglers. He will be back later this year

2009- Erixon 23rd. Appeared to be a good prospect but threatened to re-enter the draft rather than sign with the Flames do Calgary was able to trade him for a couple of 2nds and a prospect. Erixon ended up busting
2020- Connor Zary 24th. Bright spot of the Flames season with 6pts in 6 games and looks like a legit NHL forward. Really nice numbers in his last few games as a pro

2008- Neimsz 25th overall. 15 NHL games a complete bust
2019- Pelletier 26th overall. An injury derailed what should have been his rookie year. Great numbers in the A so hopes are he can still be a player
