More often than not, the sentiment here on CP during draft time is that the Flames have played it safe, and been criticized for it.

Russians IMO are exempt from BPA because of the lure of money and the easier life of KHL. I'm not saying they shoule be avoided but scouts and teams even admit there is a stigma and it's something that has to be considered.
