Yeah I was going to say this as well. Dubois plays all 3 positions and has said in interviews he slightly prefers RW. Really hard to assume for the Flames that Dubois must be listed as a LW. Nylander is listed as a LW/RW and sometimes as a LW, sometimes as a RW. Very ambiguous for both. The Flames scouts may list them as what the kids prefer to play, what the scouts project them as, who knows.
Hard to say much of anything based on those blurred out names but Dubois at #6 and Nylander at #8 seems more reasonable to me. It's hard for me to imagine the Flames having Dubois at #8 with Nylander ahead of him but I guess anything is possible. But if you look closely the name at 6 looks longer and I think Pierre-Luc Dubois is longer than Alex Nylander.
The rumour that we're trying to trade up into the top 4 does make a lot of sense to me.
