If the Flames get the #1 overall pick and go for "gritty", defencemen, or goalies, I will cry. You always go for the skilled forward.
Defencemen and goalies take too long to develop. It's also much harder to predict how a defenceman's game will translate against larger opponents. The best young defencemen in the league to emerge lately, Subban, Letang, Karlsson, etc were not chosen within the top 10.
If the Flames pick Jones over MacKinnon, I will snap.
