Teams at the top are giving up a sure thing so picks alone won't do it; they will want top young players already in the NHL. The only two we have are Baertschi and Brodie. It likely will take 6, 22, 28, and either Baertschi or Brodie and even then it may not be enough if neither player is highly rated by the other team.

I like MacKinnon as much as the next guy but if 6, 22, 28 doesn't get it done, I'm not sure I want to throw in Baertschi or Brodie.

I think Gio is overrated by Flames' fans and adds nothing to the pot. Plus, doesn't he have a NTC/NMC? I can't remember since the organization hands them out like candy.
