The Flames were forced to do hide Baertshi in the AHL this year because they didn't have enough grit to protect him.
Hopefully Lindholm is off the board when the Flames pick as he is 5' 11" Shinkaruck and Domi would also not be on the Flames list.

I am not sure the Flames will draft for current need. They have shown in the draft that they take the player they think is the best player available.
Whether it be John Gaudreau who was passed on due to being so small, or Jankowski who they like due to his skill and height.
I would not be at all surprised to see the Flames draft a Domi, or Petan in this draft, even though the team is small already.
