Doesn't quell my disappointment in picking Stromgren 2 spots before Stankoven, unfortunately.
Does it help to quell your disappointment by seeing that in 2015 the Flames picked Rasmus Anderson with their first pick, a full round and 41-selections after Dallas drafted Denis Gurianov? Or, that the Flames 2020 first-rounder is already playing NHL games, and contributing at a top-line rate while Mavik Bourque has yet to debut for Dallas?

There are always players that fans feel their favourite team missed out on, and there will always be players that outperform their draft selection.
