Yeah if Calgary has a strength it seems to be scouting in recent years.
Not sure I'd lop off the top of that department!
And with that I personally don't see the point in hindsight evaluating every pick (including the Ronni pick). I mean you can, fill your boots. But picks out of the first round have a pretty sketchy success rate, so obsessing on who could have been taken after a failed pick seems silly to me if you're happy with the overall work of the group.
