You don't pick any of those two if you're Calgary...It would be silly to settle for these two second tier talents. You have to trade up in the draft and get the most skilled player Jonathan Drouin. This guy is a Superstar, and it would be a mistake to not trade up or at least attempt to.

You try to package a couple drafts, if not all three to get third overall as Colorado and Florida will likely not move their picks and my guess is Jones and Mackinnon will be taken top 2. Drouin may even be the best player in this draft.

His hockey sense and pure unmatched skill are his best attributes. His hands are as good as Patrick Kane's and he has the drive and work ethic that will make him an elite NHLer.
