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.

The difference when you're drafting this high is that the safe pick is almost a sure bet to be a 2nd line two way center whereas in previous drafts we've picked the safe guys who would be able to step into a 3rd or 4th line role if they didn't pan out.
