2011: Baertschi - AHL-fodder traded for 2nd round pick that is set to start the year on our top pairingShall we start from lets say 2011 (had none 2010)
2011: Baertschi - AHL-fodder
2012: Jankowski - Lol
2013: Monahan top-6 center (so good) and want me to mention the 2 other picks?
2014: Bennett - Well you would wish for more when you pick at 4
2015: none
2016: Cant miss everytime so, well done
2017: Valamäki - I think this will be good in the end
2018: None
2019-2020 to soon.
So between 2011-2018 they made 1 really good pick and 1 solid. Rest well..
I think Oilers have done better if you don´t count the 1 overalls, Klefbom, Drai, Nurse, but if you add the first, well worse I think...
2012: Jankowski - Lol played 208 games for the Flames
2013: Monahan top-6 center (so good) and want me to mention the 2 other picks? Monahan still leads his draft class in goals. The other two didn't turn out, like quite a few of the later half of the 1st round that year
2014: Bennett - Well you would wish for more when you pick at 4 yes you would wish for more. not a waste either
2015: none traded for Hamilton, who in turn was the main piece of a trade that landed the Flames two players picked #5 overall
2016: Cant miss everytime so, well done Tkachuk has outperformed his draft position
2017: Valamäki - I think this will be good in the end pretty damn good player to get at #16, big part of the Flames' future
2018: None flushed it for Hamonic. Not really a waste but a poor trade for sure
2019-2020 to soon. Pelletier and Zary both are promising prospects
By no means a perfect record but not seeing a whole lot of "waste" here and certainly not worst in the league.
So between 2011-2018 they made 1 really good pick and 1 solid. Rest well..
I think Oilers have done better if you don´t count the 1 overalls, Klefbom, Drai, Nurse, but if you add the first, well worse I think...
Well why the hell wouldn't you count those lmao. Not even trying to compare the two but an honest comparison would include a comparison of draft positions.
