What you're describing from the flames is standard roster turnover for the rest of the league, it just looks unique in Calgary because the Flames have been doing things wrong for 25 years.
With just 2 of their last 15 picks being in the top 2 rounds, and 8 of the players on your list picked in those rounds, do you think the Flames will continue to graduate players at a comparable rate to the rest of the league, or is that starting to look like a problem?

So 4 examples, averaging roughly 30% fewer graduates. Cool.
By the way, we can add Granlund, and arguably Broissoit, to the Flames list.
