Folks really getting worked up here...
As a flames fan, here's my reaction to it all :
1) disappointed we didn't get in the top3 lottery after a crummy year
2) would have been nice to get the 4/5 spot as there are big wingers that would have fit in quite nicely into the program here
3) at 6, there are a plethora of options on who the flames could pick where i don't think the gap/delta is all that large prospect to prospect. There are skilled forwards, giant skilled centerman, and potentially our pick of any dmen in the entire draft class.
Point 3, leaves me quite satisfied, as I think the flames will be ok whichever way they go. It is also important to assume the player picked will likely not be on the big club this fall, but perhaps the year after.
How the flames handle their 4 picks between 35-65 has me just as, or perhaps even more intrigued. Do they package those in to move up in the draft, do they use those to try to solve current roster gaps?
Draft weekend is going to be awesome, i'm just sad that there's still more than 5 weeks till it's here!
