I do like the centre depth in this draft in the top 10, so there is some regret if the Flames miss that opportunity. But it is what it is.

I think that is correct. But is does show that Calgary will be no where close to being a playoff contender when they move into the new rink. They'll be in the middle of likely their worse years.
Prospects take many years to develop, even quite good ones.
