It's not like we're lacking LWers. Dubois, Nylander, Jost or even Gauthier both fill a need and could arguably be the BPA over Tkachuk.

Except that Tkachuk is consistently ranked ahead of Nylander, Jost and Gauthier by every scouting publication so yes, he and Dubois would likely be the best player available if they are there at #6. Tkachuk and Dubois also bring a blend of size, strength, skill and power that the Flames desperately need up front. So not only would Tkachuk/Dubois likely be the BPA but also fit our needs extremely well.
