Flames The stigma of being the 6th pick: Johnson

I realize this could have fit in the draft discussion thread, but I think this is a fantastic piece by Johnson. It features quotes from all Calgary's past 6th picks and the pressure that came with it: Stillman, Fata and Tkaczuk. Lots of honest comments.

"Do I think it’s unfair?” repeats Daniel Tkaczuk, now 34, a little more than a year into retirement and president of his own online hockey school, iHockeyTrainer.com. “Is it too much? You know what? No. It’s not. Because that’s why teams invest. The Flames invested a high draft pick in me. They should expect a lot.
