I get that. It's easy to get caught up in the hype but I maintain that most of these players aren't going to make the NHL in a meaningful capacity and it's the same for every team as I think the average is that <30 players per entire draft year go on to meaningful careers. We just have to hope that the Flames have a few as we are in the "selling hope" stage of rebuilding. It's why a few top 5 picks in the coming seasons are of paramount importance as the odds of getting a player significantly increases.
