The Flames picked a centre (Tkachuk) over wingers (Hossa and Samsonov) in '97. Tkachuk had tough luck, but I don't think he was an elite player.

The only reason i would pick MacKinnon over the other 2 is that there is a case to be made for all 3 to go #1. That tells me that none of the 3 are clearly better than the other. I would not be mad if the flames took Jones or Drouin over MacKinnon, but i would like a center because of our past.
