It is a prospect draft. You draft the player you think will be the best player as a pro. Clearly, that is what they did. It is all about projection. Often, early success is an indicator of future success but not always. There is no award for having the best players at 17/18. Succesful drafting is having the best player at 22 plus. Disagree with them or not, but the Flames picked who they thought projected to be the best player available.
