yes and no. I think their track record in the 2nd and 3rd especially has been pretty bad lately too ... apart from Poirier, there's little upside there to any of the picks in the last 5 years or so. Didn't even sign a couple of 3rds (Huckins and Whynot), Stromgren has 1 goal in 41 AHL games, and then there's guys like Nikolaev or Boltmann. Love the 2023 class though, so fingers crossed.
There's no guarantees obviously, but you'd like to see a bit more from 2nd and 3rd rounders than the Flames have seen recently IMO.
