It's not like Fucale is going to step in any time soon and be the Flames' starter. Unless he is heads and tails the BPA I would prefer they focused on the blue line or right wing (especially with Hartman still on the board in that mock draft).

There's usually very little stock put into who the actual team is when the lists are made outside of maybe the first couple picks. Especially considering the playoffs changes everything. So the creator of the list sees Fucale as being the 25th best player and puts him there, nothing to do with Calgary. Usually.
I like that the other link has Washington at second overall, what a month and a half does.
