I agree with best player available philosophy.
However in this case we may have a rare situation in which the top few prospects are extremely close and therefore you can break ties by drafting by position.
If the Flames feel one of the guys is ahead of the others they should take him regardless of position. If they feel it is too close to call then I would hope for a C or a D-man.
