If we're taking a skilled forward at 6, might as well take the most skilled forward in Keller
I don't think there's much debate that Nylander is more skilled as most say he's top 2 in skill. I don't disagree that that Keller may have a better motor but I don't think the Flames need another waterbug forward and simply need a skilled sniper to play on the right of either Monahan or Bennett.
