How many people if it came down to Kylington or Carlo would you want the Flames to take? The slider (Kylington) or the guy who hasn't risen or fallen (Carlo)?

Carlo seems to be ranked in the low to mid 20's on most draft lists and might not even be a 1st rounder if he wasn't 6'5. Personally, for me, he wouldn't be on the list of guys I'm hoping the Flames draft, likely in the 14-17ish range.
I'm not even set on a Dman in the 1st round. I'm not ready to pass up on a good forward to go looking for D just because we want a D in the 1st round. We could go ahead and draft 2-3 Dmen in the 2nd round and I would be happy with that.
If we are to assume that Hanifin, Provorov and Werenski were all gone when we pick and we absolutely needed to draft a Dman I would rather look at Kylington, Chabot, Zboril or Roy. I just think that Carlo has a limited offensive skill set and looks to be Steve Stantini like defensive Dman prospect.....not what Im looking for in a 1st round pick.
I'd rather take a Merkley, Meier or Svechnikov if they are available.
