Well, I'd discount 2024 right off the bat. That's 3 of the 7.
From 2023, Bedard has played. The other is still in college.
And from 2022, Korchinski played all last season, and Nazar was in college and played a few games at the end of the season.
For the most part, those 7 1st round picks are all considered solid prospects.
Prospects take a long time to develop. Anyone that things that Calgary's draft picks over the next few years will be taking Calgary to the promised lands quickly is likely to be disappointed.
I don't think anyone in Chicago is disapponted with their progress.

Excuse me, but the Calgary Flames got the best defenseman of the 2024 draft.
