Taylor Hall IS already cementing himself as a star in the league, proving his abilities as a franchise player that any team could build around. To suggest that the Oilers do not already have a player that is potentially as good or better than MacKinnon is short sighted especially when one side of that arguement is based on hard fact & the other is 100% speculation.
Having said that, I don't see any way the Flames move into that first or second pick without giving up Brodie and/or Baertschi + all their 1st rnd picks which is counterproductive to a team that needs a complete overhaul. I think the Flames would be better off using the 2 earlier picks, & then trying to trade the last 1st rnd pick to aquire a young roster player. Then the work of developing players & chemistry together begins!
