Maybe. But if history means everything, lets look at our top 10 picks... Rico Fata, Daniel Tkaczuk, Dion Phaneuf, Eric Nystrom, and if you want to include 11th overall, Oleg Saprykin. Thats 3 (4) forwards and 1 defenseman. How are we doing there?
As for Seth Jones BPA... if MacKinnon/Druoin are better players, by all means, go with them. If Seth Jones is BPA, go with him. Thats all I'm saying, go BPA. The Flames have always said they go BPA, every other scout and GM always say they go BPA. Its a little weird seeing that people here are saying to draft by position rather then BPA. We have no idea what our team's needs are in 3 years, nor does anyone else... so thus, BPA.
