Default 4th overall pick Flames take Bruno Caboclo

from Brazil

I thought the Draft started at 8:00 tonight not in a.m. ... this is a bit unexpected.

Flames confident this 6' 9" tall natural athlete can be convinced to play hockey instead of basketball.

Bruno quoted as
"very pleased to be taken in first rounds of both NBA and NHL"
Bruno hasn't actually skated yet but he says that he often liked making sliding strides on wet leaves when running in streets as a boy" and looking forward to challenge of being developed in Flames system

.... A Raptor / Flames fan

I wanted to score more, but the new team policy did not allow us to bring fans to the locker rooms after the games

Your thoughts about the 2013 NHL Entry Draft?
Well, everyone is saying and I am the consensus No. 1 pick this year again, hopefully they are correct

Flames did pretty good trading for a Brazilian (ok, born in Brazil) who was drafted by the Avs in the 1st rnd - Rocket Robyn Regehr...
