The quality of d-men available is >>> than the quality of forwards available throughout the rest of the draft but Las Vegas still needs to draft enough NHL quality forwards to ensure they are not putting themselves at a bad position in a trade (if they don't have enough forwards on the roster the other team can try to drive a harder bargain).
The way I look at it the quality of the forwards the Flames have available when compared to the rest of the forwards available, is better than the quality of our d-men when compared to the rest of the d-men available.

I see it as Brouwer v. Shinkaruk, like a lot of others. And that will depend a lot on their picks from other teams. If they are low salary, younger guys, they go with Brouwer, to help hit the cap floor and for experience. As well, if Brouwer turns it around even a little, his salary isn't that far out of line.
