Since the lockout here are the picks the Flames made from 20-30:
2006: Irving
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.

Backlund is great. One of my favorites, but still a depth player, a very good one though. Jankowski is a replacement level nhler. Pelletier looks great but probably 2nd liner or 3rd. So he is like Backlund. Zary could be a game changer though.
