Recent history of the 16-20 range doesn't paint a pretty picture in regards to impact players being picked in this range but anything is possible at the draft. If the 16th overall pick could land the Flames a goaltender that could be a difference maker for the team even in the short term you can argue it's probably worth it seeing the chances that pick becomes a core player is the same as being a total bust and that list of players picked over those years is very mediocre.
