You left out Jarvis at 13 as well for Carolina

They sucked for 7/8 years . We sucked for 3

And that Flames core was in the right track if they stayed together and kept adding IMO.

Why do you think Carolina is successful ?

Since it’s apparently not Because all the guys they got for their core effectively were drafted , and most were drafted high
Aho was drafted 35th overall, Jarvis 13th overall, slavin 120th, Blake 109th. Most of the rest through free agency or trades. Almost none were drafted high. I think the Flames can follow that model, no need for super high picks.
