So why would Burke want to advertise that he doesn't want Draisaitl? It doesn't make sense...only reason why he would say this is putting up a smoke screen and implement some reverse psychology. By saying that you do not want a player will give other teams an advantage of what the Flames drafting list maybe like. Perhaps he does want Leon?
Also, maybe the Flames also want Ehlers? Sure they want truculence, but the ceiling of this prospect is extremely high. If the other teams above the Flames are considering Ehlers, Flames should also do their due diligence and look into the possibility of drafting him as well.
Just keeping an open mind....
