Flames look like they've drafted and developed a legit 23 year old starting goalie who appears like he'll be in the Vezina conversation for possibly the next decade

It's a good start.

As someone who's been screaming for more at-bats for our amateur scouts to do what they've done so well, it's great. And please Craig, hang on to the picks. Let the scouts cook and see what they can inject into this organization.

I'd love to see 2 of those picks be top 5-10 picks, as that would go a LONG way to injecting the kind of quality the organization is sorely lacking.

4 first rounders is one thing, but if we're talking picks ~17-30, it's good, not great.
