Easily Dougie for me. Big RH top Dmen are hard to find and the Flames defence would be horrible without him. Jones would have been nice but he is really just an average starting goalie and trading a 1st for a goalie is risky. Barzal or Boeser would also be great but the Flames didn't trade these players, they traded the 15th overall pick. Based on the value of the picks getting Hamilton was a steal.

When I think about tough decisions in hindsight I look at the 2012 draft. Would you rather have Jankowski, Hertl, Maata, or Vasilevskiy? I'd go with the goalie although I'm happier with Janko than the other two.
