The top pick in this draft, at best is comparable to Lindholm, Nurse or Monahan. No way is #1 compared to McKinnon or Jones.
I had hoped that with the Flames worst ever finish in the standings, and highest ever pick, that we would be getting a sure fire superstar or franchise player. That isn't going to happen.
At very least I hoped that we would get a prospect better than Monahan. That appears unlikely at best.
Still going to be pleased with whomever is drafted, and expecting him to be a core player on a Stanley cup champion team.
