If Burke managed to trade up for another first, I'd prefer if it was for Alex Tuch. Especially if they get one in the Fleury range as both are likely to go around the same spot. I don't think the flames are as bad off in the defensive prospect area as some think. Kulak. Culkin, Ramage, Wotherspoon and Kanzig need a couple of years yet and the Flames top four IMO is good to go for a couple of seasons. Heck the top six D are set one could argue. A couple of UFA or trade tweaks could make the Flames D bonifide legit instead of trending upward.
