Toronto hit it too - largely thanks to luck in the draft lottery the first time they took a shot.
I think we can also just look at the Rangers and Maple Leafs as organizations that are sparing no expense at an organizational level.
Treliving improved it for the Flames while he was here (and under Burke). We saw this when we started finding players throughout the draft. Hopefully Conroy and crew keeps developing the organizational depth on the management side.
