I don't know that people compare him to Crosby so much as call him the best prospect to come along
since Crosby.

While I agree that the Flames are in dire need of a stud defenceman, I don't think Hanifin would be their
best option. If you pick top two, you take McDavid or Eichel.
However, the fact that Hanifin and Kylington are on the board makes me far more comfortable about the draft than I might be otherwise. Draft top 2 and the Flames get a franchise forward. Draft 3-4th and they get a stud defenceman. Hanifin would have been taken higher than Ekblad if he was in the same draft, and Kylington sounds like another fantastic prospect.
