Would be nice if we had a 2nd rounder, or maybe get him with our early 3rd round pick?

I think he's pretty small... that being said I'd strongly consider it for the third round or after (although if he's at 35 in TSN rankings he'd have to fall pretty far). I'd rather the team take a smaller more skilled player in those mid-to-late rounds then a guy with a big frame and middling projectability. Comparatively speaking not many NHL'ers end up coming out of those rounds so if your bust probability is going to be high anyways I think you should take the guy with the potential for the most boom. Plus he's a "name" so there's a bit of a P.R. bonus that would be associated with drafting a Subban.
Same deal with Taylor Cammarata... really small forward (Gaudreau level small) going the NCAA Division I route, leads the USHL is scoring and is projected to be picked right around where the Flames draft in round three.
