Here's my question. Which do you rank more highly -- (1) the Flames getting a top 3 pick, or (2) Edmonton falling out of the top 3?
In other words, would you rather:
(A) Flames draft 7th, Oilers draft 4th?
OR
(B) Flames draft 2nd, Oilers draft 1st?
Normally I would think, take the best possible option for the Flames and run laughing. But the Flames will still get a great player at 7th, and arguably already have a brighter future than the Oilers. However, the Oil grabbing Matthews or Laine could really free them up to address some holes in their roster.
Tough call. I think I pick (B).
