I suppose one should look at whatever options are available to move up and get a potential franchise player like Mackinnon, but I'm still of the opinion that the 6th + 2 later firsts and still holding on to our current prospects and developing young players (Brodie, Sven) is a much better strategy than having to potentially trade away key pieces (and/or draft picks) just to get 1 highly touted guy, especially in a deep draft.

I wanna see this organization keep the current picks they have, draft smart and have 3 first round picks that will compliment the Svens, Brodies, Backlunds, Gaudreaus, etc.... I wanna see them fill the holes necessary with these picks and build a good team.

One of Lindholm, Monahan or Barkov could be available to us at 6th, which would go a long way to help rebuild the Flames.

I'm no expert on the players in the draft but I do see some Toews potential in this Monahan kid...not to mention the star potential in Lindholm...but I have a feeling Linholm won't be around anymore at 6th. IMO we may be looking at Monahan as the most likely guy at 6th but who knows, anything could happen between 4th and 7th...
