I think he was a solid pick, especially where they took him. He had a lot of buzz heading into the draft because of the arch he was on. 960 talked him up, but then the NHL guys (TSN people) talked him up on day 2 of the draft as a guy that could go in the first few picks.
The Flames grabbed their goaltender, which to me meant they wouldn't get a shot of one of those other guys.
The fact that he fell to them was a bonus.
A late second rounder is a maybe anyway, this seems like a pretty solid maybe.
