yeah, me too. A center at 6, another forward at 22 and a defenseman with the PIT pick seems like a reasonable strategy for the Flames. Mantha may have been criticized for a "lack of passion", but at 22, can you really pass on a 50 goal scoring winger at 6'4" and 205 lbs? Tough. If Zykov and Wennberg are gone at that point (and I'm afraid they are), then Mantha would be good consolidation price.

With the PIT pick, I still hope that we draft McCoshen ... and I think it's realistic, as he seems like a prototypical Weisbrod pick.
