Interesting debate going on at the other board about the trade the Flames tried to make with the Avs at the 2013 draft. They offered 6, 22, and 28 for 1st so they could take Mackinnon which the Avs declined.
Looking at that today I am glad the Avs decided not to do it. The Flames got a fantastic player in Monahan and Porier and Klimchuck add to a deep group of prospects. I heard Craig Button even say with the Flames picking 3 times in the first round of 2013 it made trading the 3 picks for Dougie much easier to do
