I guess the upside for Flames fans is that the Flames organizationally need both players if they can live up to the potential of a top line center and a top pairing D.
What does concern me is that this draft looks to be weak, perhaps even weaker than the 2012 draft.
Also from the preliminary rankings, the strength of the 2014 draft is the depth of Cs and LW/Cs. Depth on D for this draft appears to be extremely weak on top of the weak draft overall.
Perhaps the 2014 draft is not the one to look to build up the defensive core.
