from what i have watched, which admittedly isn't a ton of the likely 1st rounders, I would agree. Reminds me quite a bit of 2012 where the first couple guys were just okay, and then after that it was a complete coin flip. I remember that year having a hard time keying in on a particular player I liked for the Flames pick until I saw Janko play for the first time.
It also largely depends on where the Flames are picking too. If the Flames are picking around 20, Cal Foote (Adam Foote's son) might be the best option due to his physicality as a D-man, something we've lacked since Reggie.
Honestly, I would not be opposed to trading the 1st if it meant acquiring a good young player under the age of 26. Say like Landeskog.
