Teams like Chicago, New York, etc.. can get away with that because they can restock their prospect cupboard in other ways.
I don't think the Flames are at the point where they should be trading picks away, regardless of the draft position.

Interesting list. I can't say I disagree with the majority of it. I think this is the first year where Klimchuk has really jumped ahead of Poirier in the prospect list. Klimchuk finally seems to have shaken the injury bug and Poirier just isn't trending in the right direction.
It's pretty obvious there are no sure things on that list. I hope I'm wrong, but I'd be surprised if Jankowski became a no 2 centre in time, let alone a no 1.
There are some wildcards though. Andersson, Kylington, Gillies and Mangiapane have the highest ceilings in my opinion. Maybe the Flames will get lucky and one of them will break out into top line players.
