The blatant example I can think of is Drouin somehow falling to 6th. It would be stupid not to take him. It really does have to be BPA for the Flames. We should be planning for 5 years down the road.

I wouldn't really worry about the current log jam. We can always move an NHL LW for an equivalent player in another position (or move them to RW) sort of like the Langkow for Stempniak trade.
