I am going to grade this an A considering A+
The flames got the prospect I had number 4 overall. The night of the lottery Tkachuk was the player I really hoped the Flames would get. After the memorial cup I thought there was no way he made it past 4. I feel that pick some makes this draft an A. Then the Fames spend only 1 pick obtaining a starting goalie. I was lukewarm to Elliot prior to the trade but have really come around. He comes cheap on the cap and we still have max flexibility going into the expansion draft.
Making 9 picks is solid. 2 2nd rounders for the 3rd straight draft helps keep the cupboards stocked.
