I'm attacking the people who are over the top.
There are plenty who have shown cautious optimism on the pick. There are plenty who are disappointed we didn't get someone else. Both are valid, reasonable opinions.
The over the top hyperbole deserves to be called out.
And yes, I gave my opinion. I am intrigued. And given I am not a pessimist by nature, I am hopeful that the Flames pulled off a coup here. For one thing, it is much healthier than assuming failure.
And say what you will about his CSB ranking, it seems logical that the Flames chose him at 21 because they did not believe he would be available at 42. They got the guy they wanted, and they got a second round selection back. That is a positive first day of the draft.
