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.

I did back that up if you review the posts above. With quotes from the Red Line Scouts chat that just ran. Gave a link as well. They said he Barkov and Nischuskin are right there with Yakupov and would have challenged for 1st overall last season.
EDIT: And for the record I am not a Nichushkin supporter. I just think it is silly to say we won't pick him because he is Russian. I am fine not picking him if the Flames don't see him as the BPA at the time of the selection.
