I just don’t want them reaching for a forward if the forwards on your list are gone. I would definitely add Buium to your list of dmen. My strong personal preference would be to take a dman this year.

Next years draft is loaded with with forwards

Hagens - leads the US national development team in scoring in his D -1 year
Porter Martone - 71 points in 60 games in the OHL in his D -1 year
Michael Misa - 75 points in 67 games in the OHL in his D - 1 year
McQueen - almost a PPG for Brandon this year
William Moore - led the scoring at the World under 17 championships

And then a bunch of Europeans and Russians (Frondell, Ryabkin)

There looks like there will be 8 forwards taken too 10 next year. If the Flames think a forward is the BPA this year they should take a forward but the logical draft to expect to take a forward top 10 is next year.
