I know, I was making a point that the Flames probably have what it takes to move up from 4th to 1st overall in the draft if they really wanted to. I think it would cost more than just our first and our second but if Burke really wanted to move up to get Ekblad then I think he could make it happen.
At the end of the day, I feel the Flames would be better off getting higher end tallent instead of a lot of picks. Ekblad seems like he's the stud defensman of the draft and I think they should do what it takes to get him. IF they can I would also suggest trying to get extra higher picks at the expense of the later picks because there are a few kids in the late first or second that could really help this team out down the road.
