If he drops, I think the Flames give serious consideration to picking him up. One of the positives of having more than one 1st round pick. I don't think they touch him with their top 5 pick. Too much at stake for the Flames right now.
One wrinkle is that Columbus has 3 first round picks and could have the same idea...draft a quality guy with their early pick and gamble on one of their later picks.
