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.

I've seen it in print that prior to the start of this season some scouts thought Monahan could end up being the best player from the draft. He's boom/bust as well, however the consensus seems to be that if he 'busts' he'll end up centering the 2nd line. If Nichushkin busts he'll be on a different continent.
