Speaking of the 6th spot, any one else nervous with the Flames taking a Tkachuk at 6 after the failed drafting of Tkaczuk at 6 in 1997? Different spelling but some bad karma perhaps

Seems unfair to fault the drafting of Tkacuzk. He got concussed after a solid opening to his rookie season, and was never the same. That sort of injury wasn't predictable (or managed correctly) in those days. At the time of the draft he was ranked as high as 3rd.
As to "Karma" is the writer equally concerned about Backlund's knee at the World Championships because of what happened to Joe Nieuwedyk?
There is about an equal relationship there.
Now, if we were again looking at a Swiss player I would be worried. After Ramholt, Sven, and Hiller. My goodness. As the Kids in the Hall say:
