I just don't see him as a big need. It's not hard to draft insanely talented small guys. It's hard to find top pairing dmen, 1st line powerforwards and big, top line centres. I think one of those commodities will be available at #6.

If the Flames were going to use the 6th overall pick based on need they would draft Nylander and call it a day as top 6 RW is by far the most deficient position in the organization. It sounds to me like they will take BPA and if they view Keller as BPA then I would assume they would take him. We have been going over this for so long now it's kind of exhausting trying to determine who they may have penciled in at this point or who's on their short list and I for one can't wait to finally get to June 24 to finally get some closure.
