There's also various degrees of winning . . . . a gonzo home run, a decent first line player, a second line player . . . . .

I agree, not just any of the top 5 will do. The Flames NEED the gonzo home run in the biggest possible way. They can't screw up this pick. In fact, if the team doesn't want to be "wallowing in the desert" for years to come they need their other first rounders to be good to great NHL players too.
