Bennett - 10/10 but like Monahan was an obvious pick.
McDonald - 5/10 didn't want a goalie in the 2nd round, but I'm glad we took him over Demko who is having double hip surgery.
Smith - 3/10 typical Burke pick. Might be Brian Boyle, more likely to be a fighter. Not somebody I'd take with an early pick.
Hickey - 5/10 just very frustrating not to pick Glover who is a big-bodied, right-shooting defenceman. Surprised to see a Burke-run team pass on a player like him.
Ollas-Mattsson - 7/10 from what I've read not a very good skater but not much else desirable to pick after him. I can respect that he was ranked in the 2nd round in some reports.
Carroll - 4/10 don't really understand this. Would have preferred going after some skill with somebody like Francis Perron or Spencer Watson since it's the 7th round.
Overall 7/10 because of Bennett. Seemed like the Flames tried to compensate for his lack of size with every other selection after him.
Just for fun these are the players I would have taken at these positions:
4th: C Sam Bennett
34th: RD Roland McKeown
54th: RD Jack Glover
64th: LW Anton Karlsson
175th: LD Ollas-Mattsson seems like a fine pick
184th: LW Francis Perron
