Meh.
Vancouvers prospect pool is pretty crappy... they have Horvat (who's good) and Shinkaruk (who's just ok regardless of how much their fans overrate him) and pretty much nothing else of note. I almost think they'd be better served with #6 and the extra bullets they just got then putting all their eggs in one basket.
If your hope is based on what it does to the Flames in the draft then as far as I'm concerned it makes no difference. The three forwards (Leon and the Sams) are all pretty close in overall talent (personally I have a slight preference for Bennett but only slight) so I'd basically just shrug regardless of who they chose because we'd be getting someone pretty much just as good anyways.
