Calgary has gotten great value outside of the Top 10 and even further down in the Draft.
Panic ensued when the Flames NHL Draft Lottery position was announced this off-season: 6th. Now, yes, a Top 3 pick would have been ideal for the Flames this season, but it's not like all hope is lost. Sean Monahan was a 6th pick and so was Cory Stillman. Calgary landed Dion Phaneuf at #9 in 2003. You can get value outside of the Top 5, but I wanted to take a look at how the Flames have done outside of the Top 10.
