There is no such thing as "the board".

How about the numerous well rounded major junior or european league players that were still available. Finn, teravainen, ceci, maatta...to name a few
crash and bang wingers to a T.
If this is your only rational defense of this pick i think you need to reconsider the Flames current situation. We're apparently not rebuilding but we're going for a massive project pick? I have no problem picking a guy like him but not in the first round and not when we are in dire need of nhl talent in our system.
Dismiss "the board" all you want, I guess everyone in hockey that refers to "the board" is wrong and Mr mastodon is right.
