Exactly
I know that it should always be BPA, but at the end of the day, there are no certainties. Drouin is better than Barkov IMO, and generally agreed, but the Flames need a C. If we got our first top 3 in team history and used it on an LW, when our two best prospects are already LWs, and we have very little else, well that is just silly. Have to take Barkov before Drouin.
However, I think there is enough of a difference between Drouin and Lindholm, that I would have to go with the BPA. Then the Flames would have to look at trading one of them (BAertschi, Gaudreau and Drouin)
Exact same logic applies between MacKinnon and Jones for me. MacKinnon first, but otherwise Jones is too good to pass up.
