Back in June I had mentioned that the second round of the draft seemed to be a place where the Flames’ scouts went to die. There seemed to be something within the Flames organization that led them to make poor decisions when there are often still a few bargains to be had at the draft table. This isn’t to say that the organization hasn’t found ways to make up ground elsewhere – the fourth round is something of a local legend based on recent history.
However, I wanted to take a look at the Flames’ history of drafting in round two to see if my memory in this regard was accurate, or the result of some more recent misses.
