And by the time that Petan would be expected to break into the roster it is of course 100% guarenteed that Baertschi, Gaudreau, and Hudler will be in the NHL, with the Flames, and for some reason (along with Petan) be at the same time unmoveable.
Of course they can draft him if he's the BPA then he's the BPA, even if you ascribe to some manner of size bias that you can only somehow have 3 players shorter then 6'0 if he's good enough then he is either a moveable asset or makes someone else same (and thus garners value for the Flames). If Petan is the BPA then you take him.
