They don't have any other Patrick's that I know of.
Let's not carried away with draft position. It's all relative. He's a good, young player, but he's not a Patrik Laine or Jack Eichel, and the other piece we get in that deal is going into the final year of his contract, where as the Flames would be dealing one of the top offensive right handed defensemen in the entire league who hasn't even seen his 25th birthday yet and is signed for multiple years for under $6 million.
