Rarely will you get legit top D pairing guy make it to UFA (off the top of my head Suter and Chara are the only ones I can think of). Most of the time in UFA you over pay and slot them into that role. It takes time to develop dmen so if even if one is picked up in this draft he may not be ready until after 2017. Good news for the Flames is that any defensive prospect brought in will be sheltered.
