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.
