Just a mess. Foster was traded before turning pro, Stoll re-entered the draft, the two Russians and McConnell never made it. Ramholt played a single 45 seconds shift for the Flames, Wahl had his career derailed by concussions. 2014 was a total nightmare (McDonald over Demko and a big overager in Smith), but at least they nailed 2015.
Luckily, Morin and the 2024 2nd rounders will turn into Hall of Famers, but still.

Hope this trend stops with Conroy. Flames seem to have way better luck at drafting after round 2.
