From a Flames fan perspective, I'd be disappointed that they passed on (seemingly) better picks at the #14 spot. Though we won't know for sure for a number of years, it's only natural for a large number of the fanbase to be disappointed at this time.

The kid has a ton of upside and great hockey sense. Then there's the fact that 25 scouts were showing up to watch this kid play. It seems he was on the radar of alot of teams and many were interested in him. For sure he's a bit of a gamble but i'm willing to wait to see how he pans out. Besides it's not as if were going to challenge for the Cup anytime soon so why not build for the future.
