As for Nylander, we've seen Burke himself say that if two players are close then they'll take Defense over Centres and Centres over Wingers. So yeah, Nylander is very skilled and is probably in our top 10. But a finesse winger is the least important position in hockey so you'll take a potential top pairing dman over it every day of the week regardless of your depth chart. That's what BPA means. A top pairing dman is worth way more than a 1st line finesse winger. You take the most valuable asset.
I mean how many times have you seen me argue that the Flames are likely to have a defenseman in their top 6 because they value defensemen more than other teams do? Dmen are going to be higher for the Flames because philosophically they value them more highly than some other teams do.
How does it not make sense? You've read my arguments as to why it makes sense for like the last month. Guess I did a really poor job explaining my argument?

At what point will you understand that your perception does not equate to the truth? At what point will you understand that I do not see your POV as any validation of logic towards the Flames? At what point will you understand that we see things so completely different that repeating yourself ad nauseum is not going to change my mind? You've offered little more in our continued debate outside of the first time you've made your POV known that it's now just nails on a chalkboard every single time you quote my posts with the same stale regurgitation.
Blah blah, Burke said this, blah blah, size this, blah blah blah blah, finesse winger not good blah blah. I got it the first 20 or so times you've posted the same thing.
Burke also said he loves skill in his top six and the size in his bottom six. Burke's said a lot of contradictory things in his tenure. So again, whether it is true or not, which is still unclear, Juolevi doesn't make sense to me as the #6 BPA. And I like the player. I'll be happy if he is the pick. You seriously grind my gears man. It's not your POV as much as you trying to brainwash or force-feed it every chance you get. And like it's the only truth there is.
