No. The players at the top of this draft are for the most part not considered NHL ready from what I have read. Next year there are 2-3 prospects that have "franchise" potential. While the Flames season has been enjoyable I would not be surprised if next year they take a step back. Too risky with McDavid, or Eichel as possible picks
