I think Kassian has shown he can be a Bertuzzi-lite. He's a very good passer but he is definately lacking a few iq points.

The truth is, and I have to be honest, I can't wait for a "series thread: XXXXXX @ Calgary Flames". Reading draft and prospect threads is killing me ATM.

Barring trade, we aren't getting Reinhart or Ekblad. I'm optimistic of an edmonton screwup that leaves Bennett on the board, but not expecting it.

Thing is that whoever we draft NEEDS to become an NHLer. We can't screw up. We have to be safe. I'm not sure who the safe guy is (outside of Ekblad/SAMs), but the Flames can't take a "Jankowski" here.

That said, it's clearly a top 3 draft to me. But if we get one of them it's a win.

If those 3 are gone, I'd consider the Kane+9 for Hudler+4.
