Who's scouts have come to the conclusion that 6 - 20 are the same? Sure sounded from the Contoy interview that they have a short list of players they expect at the 6th spot and Burke said they didn't want to fall further than 7th in the draft lotter as they believe there is a critical drop off after 7 so it certainly sounds like the Flames don't plan on trading back.

I don't want the Flames to take a defenseman at 6 but if it came to that or trading out of the top ten I would take Juolevi at 6 100/100 times as there's a far greater chance he becomes a better player than any of the guys that go 15 or later. Far better chance.
