But that kind of is BS - It's 'best' at drafting from where they pick and number of picks. Every week at least once you have to let everyone know according to one third party they are the best at drafting using that sites method. Wohoo. We are good at getting better second through 7th round players on average then the league.
They have hit on some nice support players in later rounds (their 1st round pick have mostly been meh so far) But since they trade a lot of picks, a few late round support player skew the overall ranking
Is it nice the Flames find some support players in the later rounds. Of course. However, the team hasn't drafted a true impact player since MT (Which was a 6th overall higher then we have drafted since)
The Flames aren't finding superstars in the draft recently (Its really hard late in the 1st / later rounds)
We are hoping other teams miss on players and the Flames can identify them. I for one thinking betting on the Flames to be smarter then every other organization is a worse bet then draft the best players because your team sucks and sucking gets the picks that guarantee the best players are available
