After being pretty upset yesterday, I have come to terms with picking 6th. This Flames management and scouts have proved themselves over last 3-4 years and I fully expect them to pick the best player available at 6 or trade it for some necessary assets. Also, we have our main core already and getting a player like Matthews would have made it difficult to afford everyone under the salary cap. I think we will get a high-end complimentary player at 6 (Nylander, Jost, Tkachuck, or Dubois) and it will give us a great 1-2 punch with our top 2 lines. I hope we can sign a player like Backes, Okposo, or Lucic this free agency to really solidify a top 6.
