Of the holes in this team, that's a much lesser concern.
#1C, top coach and a #1 goalie are bigger priorities.

Here is where things get to be a huge problem for the Flames:
They have drafted only 1 Dman in the last 3 years and Pelletier is the only 1st or 2nd round pick used on a Forward over the same time frame.
with 15 (!) UFAs on the roster this offseason not having been moved for any picks and further picks out the door for Forbort and Gustafsson, the flames asset ledger is arguably worse than it was when Feaster took over.
Detroit has drafted 18 times in the top 3 rounds in the last 3 years.
Who will win a round first do you think?
