So in summary, if we have our pick of the defensemen at #6 there should be a defenseman available who has a greater upside than Rasmus Andersson.

Plus a good deal of the Rasmus Andersson story has been written since last June.
He was a guy that some had higher (late first round), that Calgary got lower than they expected.
But then he lit up the Flames prospect camp, had a stellar OHL year including playoffs, and may have figured out some of his fitness issues.
There's no doubt that he's become a better prospect than 53rd overall, but that's not development and not drafting.
Or ... yeah I agree.
