It would be a shame to lose out on that level of prospect due to unfounded fears, optics, or because we don't want to deal with a couple of silly threads on Calgary Puck.
Fortunately I don't think the CP reaction is high on the Flames draft criteria.

Please back this up. There is as much hyperbole from the Nichushkin supporters as there is fear-mongering from the other camp.
Like The Yen Man said, why take on the risk when there are other great players to draft?
And I want to build a good team, not simply draft players.
