Sign Reimer at free agency or MAF for our 2 seconds (35 & 56)

Gives us unreal prospect depth at Defense if we pick Juolevi, great size/compete level if we pick one of the forwards at 6.
I don't know about Nichuskin specifically but I like this line of thinking. If the BPA at 6 is arguably a D and we already have a good stable of D prospects then they become currency. The Flames get the F they need without depleting their prospect base. In fact, getting an older F in exchange for drafting a younger D lines up better with the Flames' demographic needs.
