I just find it ridiculous that the flames are the only source I've read out of every draft review, scouting consensus list and interviews with other teams/GMs that have called it a top 5, and they call it a consensus top 5. Seems like the opposite of consensus when you are the only one who thinks something. Maybe they just mean internally.

They have also talked about re-signing Cammy, how Sven can fit into this team if he puts in the right effort/mindset, that Gaudreau definitely has a spot with the organization and if he earns a spot can play on the Flames team.
Burke thinks the team needs to get harder to play aginst and tougher. He hasn't said that means size and only size. Many teams in the league want to do the same thing, especially after watching the Kings run in the Cup and most fans on here seem to agree with Burke that the team needs to get bigger, stronger, tougher.
Wanting the team to improve on an area of weakness is far from an obsession and his words have shown that he isn\t only not obsessed with size but fine with guys making the team that are small or even tiny.
