I don't see a fit for RyJo in Columbus, I think their biggest need is top 4 D and the BJ's don't really have that to spare. I also think Tampa is going to want to cut bait on some big contracts to go with Drouin and I don't think the jackets will be in for that.

As much as I'd love Drouin on the Flames, I don't think it'll be worth it for the Flames to give up those assets (especially a first rounder that could easily be top 3, and this draft seems fairly deep IMO).

The Flames need to target a big RW who can play on the top line. I don't see anyone who fits that mold being available other than in the draft.
