Flames need to get bigger but that doesn’t mean they need to do that in the first round. The first round should be all about getting the most skilled and high ceiling player. You draft your Big grinding wingers in later rounds.

Oh, I know. I am just saying that I personally still have a tough time with USHL player evaluations. It seems like the team that the player is on is a big difference maker. Big producers on some teams do better than others.
But mostly my criticism is around speed. Slower, smaller, but skilled is the way the Flames drafted for quite a while. I want the big fast skilled guy
