The Flames don't need anymore LWers.

Yeah Burke did say that but in the next week he then said the German kid is right up there with the other top 3 players in the draft. I think maybe he either was sending mixed signals to other GMs or was misinformed on just how good this kids is and his scouts may have brought him up to date a bit there. Anyhow, if he is on the board I think we have to take him, he has the skill, size, weight, puck control and aggression that we need on this team.
