I thought the recent scouting has been pretty good going back to late finds in Brodie, Gaudreau, Andersson, solid near top 10 selections in Monahan, Bennett and Tkachuk. I think the pro scouting was bad for a while picking out Brouwer and Neal types vs the trading up of Ferland and a non-signing Fox to good years of Lindholm and Hanifin. Seems to be on a good trend with adds like Sharangovich.
The use, development and retention of these players was on coaching and GMing and we added Darryl too late and flubbed the contracts of our stars. The Flames with the core mention above had a chance to be a great team for at least a few years but it got blown apart.
