I assume it's the former, but I would not be shocked if Nurse isn't the Flames pick.

With the Flames taking Jankowski last year I can see the logic in this, but I hope not. I seriously to god hope not. This team has been in dire need of quality centers for two decades, and they usually only come in the top 10, so I hope they do not blow this pick on a defenseman who rose so quickly this past year. Nurse went from unranked in the top 30 prospects at the start of the season to number 11 at mid season and is now a top six pick? Meteoric risers like that scare me. Nurse was good, but he did play on a team that had two defenseman crack 20 goals this past season. Individual success or systematic success? I take Lindholm or Monahan long before I take Nurse or any other defenseman in the first round. We need depth at all positions, but most pressing is in the middle. Take a center!
