The tough decision comes if the Flames are sitting in the 3-hole with Mackinnon and Jones off the board. Do you take Drouin - who looks fantastic but is a winger? Tough call indeed.

Yeah, I don't see the Flames having a top-2 pick, so this is actually a very likely scenario: Barkov or Drouin? The big centre the team has lacked for 20 years, or the brilliant winger who may be the most dynamic player in the draft?
I'd be happy to draft Barkov, but in the back of my mind I could see Drouin challenging for the scoring title.
