Wish Colorado had taken it.

I'm sure we'll get some depth from our 1st rounders, but having Mackinnon would've been super exciting.

Even in a deep draft, the chances are the Flames end up with only one or two decent players from the three picks in the first round. Chances of any of our picks being at the level of a Tavares or Stamkos are slim to nil, while the chances of Mackinnon being at that level are about 50/50 I'd say.

Shaking my head at people who don't like the offer.
