I guess it's the season of redundant threads.. But I'll play..

Inside the top 3, you take BPA. Perhaps even top 6.

But what I would like to see is a deal for a strong RW who can excell, not just play on, the top line and a franchise goalie to be. Not a prospect, a young guy who is NHL ready and has the ability to carry a franchise.

Thinking outside the box, if you pick 6-8, which I think is the worst the Flames will pick, try and pry Raanta and Hayes or Kreider out of NYR with the pick.

So let's say 6-8 pick for Raanta and Kreider or Hayes.

Or you take BPA up to #5.
