Since the lockout here are the picks the Flames made from 20-30:

2007: Backlund
2008: Nemisz
2009: Erixon
2012: Jankowski
2013: Poirier, Klimchuk
2019: Pelletier
2020: Zary

So they made 9 picks from 20-30 and I would argue that 4 were successful so far (Backlund, Jankowski, Pelletier, Zary)

Will be interesting to see too...but I think in the last 5 year or so we are seeing more players taken in that range have an impact than in the prior years.
Go back the last ten drafts. Not many impact players in that range...
