I can't see I've seen anything in Dubois, or Joulevi that makes me lament the Flames falling a spot in the draft. Certainly would have been nice to be in Winnipeg's spot and move up for Laine. But in no way can I complain about getting Tkachuk.
IIRC there was a lot of talk about the Flames moving up from 6 to 3. Still early, but it's looking pretty astute to stay and 6 and pick the guy they got. I do think playing with Frolik and Backlund does help, but Tkachuk isn't causing those two any undue stress.
