Hopefully it was a smoke screen, Burke complimented him today apparently.

You can't be ruling guys out publically before the draft just from a leverage point of view, and even more important, Burke should not be the one unilaterally making the pick anyway, the flames pay guys to watch these kids night in and night out all season to advise on the best guy.

Anyway I think Dal Colle has pulled away from Draitsaitl in the playoffs, he is leading the OHL in PPG scoring in the playoffs, not that it is everything but just to put it in perspective, he is outscoring the third coming McDavid who is on a team that is twice as good offensively... and he is only 6 months older than McDavid. Going to be a beast in the NHL.
