But neither here or there. I think the concern is premature. But I was reacting more to this notion that there is a pattern of bad development with the Flames (Flames' fans are worked up because we've seen this movie before), where i don't see that.

I think top 10 picks definitely have different development expectations than later picks as the higher picks tend to be guys ready to make an impact soon.
The flames being in the middle really do not have many examples of developing top 10 picks. Monahan, Bennett, Tkachuk and Parekh are the only ones in the last 20+ years
