Unless the Flames decide to go with a D-man or Logan Brown, both of which do not make a ton of sense with what is in the organization, then it's up to a pick of which of the smallish wingers you like the best.
All three of them in terms of raw skill are pretty close. I think Keller has the highest overall skill level of the three, which is why I like him over the other two, but I would not be complaining one bit if they went with either of the other options.
If Logan Brown was more physical, he would be right up there as well, but he's about as domineering as Colborne.
It's a weird draft with so many players that are basically identical skill wise.

I don't think you can dismiss the idea of taking a potential top pairing d-man just because we're strong there. Defensemen is highly likely to BPA on the Flames list at #6 if Dubois/Tkachuk don't fall to us. Top pairing defensemen are worth a ton in value, higher than small skilled wingers.
