Even if the flames draft a future NHL center this year, it will most likely take 2-4 years until he's in the NHL, let alone an impact maker.
For example, Kadri didn't start hitting his stride until d+5 year. Backlund his d+6.
It doesn't seem like were going to get a celebrini or bedard anything soon.
The flames are most likely going to try trading for a young center at some point.
And yes we had 10 draft picks last draft. 8 the one coming up. And 9 the one after that.
It is a surplus of draft picks.
I agree though, hopefully we get more.
