Agreed again. Nice that the Flames currently have 9 picks for this years draft....that's the most they've had for a draft since before the 2004/05 lockout when the draft was still nine rounds.

No second rounders mind you, but three first rounders. Like you said, keep them all and throw as much mud against the wall as possible.
