And hitting on 1sts lately too, which has never been a org strong point.
Only 4 times in Calgary Flames history have they had three straight years with contributing 1st round draft picks on the roster (I eliminated Dingman and Baertschi as they didn't really make it here). When they have they've usually drafted high.
The current run of Pelletier, Zary and Coronato is unique.
1981-83
MacInnis
Quinn
Roberts
Avg Draft Pos 13.3
3445 GP
2001-2003
Kobasew
Nystrom
Phaneuf
Avg Draft Pos 11.0
2242 GP
2014-2016
Bennett
Tkachuk
Valimaki (iffy)
Avg Draft Pos 8.7
1550 GP
The current group (2019-2021 / Pelletier, Zary and Coronato) need more games played to make it over the Dingman/Baertschi line (to a less extent Valimaki), but they've done it with the highest draft position average of 21.0.
