This is going to be a very important pick as there's some really talented players available at 6 and a good chance of being controversial as I can see a couple of very good players that will be taken after the Flames so they have to hope they don't get one of the disappointments as not all of these guys will go on to great careers.

I think the Monahan draft year was equally hotly contested. You had Nurse, Lindholm, Nichushkin, Monahan, Horvat (thanks to a big radio push from Loubardious) and Ristolainen all being talked about really heavily.
And a truck load of talk just like this year about trading up into Barkov or Drouin.
