No scouting service has him as a top 5 pick... a few have going in the 5-15 range.
Not sure if I could support the pick though, Flames need a more dynamic offense talent.

If the Flames can somehow get another pick in the top 20 he's a guy I would like to look at, we need a super pest who isn't a liability out there and can put up solid minutes but I want the Flames to somehow obtain Ekblad.
If we can come out of this draft with another 2 first round picks that would be 5 in the last 2 years which would be a huge success IMO. It's just too bad we went with Janko over Terivainen (spl??) and even Maatta who is having a really good rookie season in Pitts.
