I still am hoping for Ekblad myself because I want a big Dman to get excited about. If we get the first pick and take Reinhart or Bennett I will have no problem with that either. The Flames can't miss on this pick though it has to be a game changer

From Feaster's comments on the draft, that they always got their top rated players, I don't believe much of what Feaster said.
I think when picking your players, BPA and needs should both be in the mix of how you make your choice. Forcing things by trying to satisfy a need ends up with being a gamble while say taking a goalie because he's the BPA when you are already stockpiled with goalies isn't a good plan either. Sure you can make trades after you're overstocked at any one position but other teams know you need to trade and so take advantage, like how we got Kiprusoff.
