Are you assuming that the player the Flames actually pick won't accomplish anything?
What if Tij Iginla scores 300 goals and 600 points in the NHL, but the Flames get a #1 C who ends up with 400 and 1000?
Chicago didn't draft Brett Hull. Detroit didn't draft Mark or Marty Howe. In fact, I'm hard pressed to think of a famous father-son duo in the NHL who both started their careers with the same team.
