I'd rather the Flames swing for the fence with 16 OA, where if they connect that player will be just 22/23 years old 5 years from now.
If they do deal it for a player, I'd much prefer it be an impact player who is 25 or under if a forward, 27 or under if a Dman.

That is a fair point. Personally, I just don't have too much faith that we are going to get an impact player at 16th.
