Probably fairly low, as the Flames are more likely to pick BPA with those top 5 gone. At the 6th pick, the BPA is most likely Nylander or a defenseman.
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if the Flames' scouting staff likes Tyson Jost more than most other teams do. If they really love Jost, they would have to trade down rather than take him at 6th. It simply wouldn't be good asset management to take him at 6th. But I think the Flames would like one of Nylander/the Dmen enough to take them at 6th.
Coming from the BCHL gives Jost a bit more risk than other prospects IMO. The Flames can't afford to take large risks with such a high pick.
