I think it's important for the Flames to pick second overall if Burke is running the draft.

Burke has had the second overall pick three times, and ended up with Chris Pronger, Daniel Sedin, and Bobby Ryan. Also interesting to note that he wheeled and dealed to get into the #2 spot for both Pronger and Sedin.

He gave up Hartford's first three picks to get Pronger. I wonder if Ekblad is good enough for him to do the same thing this year if the Flames end up in the 5 or 6 spot again?
