If the draft goes as generally predicted the next forward available to the Flames is Nylander and I could see the Flames passing on him as being too soft. The next set of forwards include
Jost - good but not outstanding, average size
McLeod - some like him a lot but low production
Keller - talented but too small
Brown - talented but too big?
Rubstov - Russian
Gauthier - production dropped off drastically in 2nd half
All of these are a bit of a gamble so taking a gamble on a defenceman could easily happen.
