Well, you keep insinuating that the Flames picking around the 16th pick is somewhat a rare occurrence, it isn't so.
Many posters here argue that getting top 5 or top 10 picks beat finishing 7th-10th in the West. We finished 7th-11th in the West in 8 of the last 14 years, which is a miserable place to be in IMO.
Our division titles were on the backs of top picks: Tkachuk, Monahan, Hanifin, and Lindholm, as well as lucky 4th round pick in Gaudreau.
