In the trade thread, a lot of people are hung up on making a move that nets a top 10 pick (and that's fine too), but there are multiple teams sitting on multiple second rounders. Sneaking in on a deal that bags a few of those might pay big dividends this year, as the shortened season put a lot of pressure on scouts to be at the top of their game. And I like the Flames scouting staff.

Totally valid- the draft seems like it has a very stable top 13-ish and then it becomes wild, with various rankings having some players between 15 and 60. Martin Chromiak is a good example of this, as is Jan Mysak, who have variably been rated mid first round to end of second.
There will be plenty of gems to mine in the second IMO.
