I was actually thinking about this. No matter where the Flames draft, even if it is 1st overall, I don't know if I want the Flames to have that person in their line up for more than 10 games next season - unless they are really special.
No need to burn a year of UFA status on what is probably going to be a lengthy rebuild or risk long term injury on some guys. I think the Oil have actually been too quick to add RNH, Yakupov and Hall to their lineups - both RNH and Hall may have damage to their health long term. I'd rather them dominate in junior and take another year to physically mature, than go against men.
