I can just see it now. Flames pick 2nd, MacKinnon and Drouin are still available, Flames pick MacKinnon, Ferraro et al proceed to say "Wow... not sure I would have done that. Given that the Flames need a dynamic goal scorer, I don't think MacKinnon will ever be that guy in Calgary. This is a bit off the board." Similarly, if Calgary were to pick Drouin all we would hear from TSN is "Wow... given that the Flames badly need a centre prospect, I'm not sure I would have went off the board with that pick. Given that the Flames already have Baertschi and Gaudreau in the system, they needed to have picked a centre here. I'm not sure I like what Feaster and company are doing here."

This anti-Flames bias thing is getting out of hand. TSN rips the Flames because we're a terrible team that has terrible management and has made questionable decision after questionable decision for years now. There really isn't anything good to say about the Flames so why should they?
I'm sure TSN is going to hype up Mackinnon/Drouin for months leading up to the draft and then just rip the Flames for taking them for no logical reason.
