I'm sorry that I don't think highly of these picks but that's just me, I suppose. I don't always support everything the Flames do. I'd like to hear why you guys think these picks are "good" for any other reason than that my opinion that they are "bad" is "####ty."

Kent Wilson??
I don’t believe he knows anything about these players either.
And I don’t really have an opinion about whether or not any of these are “good” selections. The last two were a bit puzzling based on the information at hand, but what do I know? This looks like a “boom or bust” selection to me based on how Roman was ranked, and how far he has dropped. That doesn’t make it a “good” pick—for all we know his slide in today’s draft is a clear reflection of things that all the scouts know that we do not.
