Nico, Hughes and Nemec. Not to **** on two of those wins, but the Nico and Nemec years were probably the weakest drafts (at the time of the lead up) we've had over the last decade (since 2013 or so). Turns out that Nico year was pretty good in the top 5 (Makar, Pettersson, Nico, Miro), but the draft itself had some struggles. Top 20 was pretty rough outside that 5.

Rough pick when you go back and look at that draft. He and Strome were the only two who weren't full on bangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn the hockey gods for cursing you with multiple 1OA picks in "weak" draft years!!!!!!! Meanwhile Calgary has never picked higher than 4th and will most definitely be moving down knowing our luck.

Even though nobody is going to complain about getting Macklin, I think it would be funny if it comes at the expense of taking Tij Iginla for the Flames 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I feel like the league is missing out on randomizing the entire lottery order. It'd be an hour of really good TV and content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
