People are talking like Calgary only has one pick in the draft. Obviously that is not the case.

I'd much rather the Flames pick an elite skilled forward with the first pick and then augment size with later picks, if they want to gradually increase the size of the prospect base
. Even though you can find elite talent in latter rounds, its definitely harder... i think that its easier finding size in latter rounds than pure skill.

so i hope calgary does pick for skill over size with the 6th pick, because i think they can pick for size with their other first (i hope) or there 2-3 second round picks
Agreed.

If Brown is the BPA, pick Brown.
If Keller is the BPA, pick Keller.
If Sergachyev is the BPA, pick Sergachyev.
If Cameron Morrison is the BPA, trade down twice and pick Cameron Morrison.
