There is no way the Flames would pass on Holloway or Zary at 19 to take Barron...at least I really, really hope not.
The biggest knock against him seems to be that his effort in all 3 zones is questionable. Offensively gifted, but doesn't flex a strong defensive game. That's something that usually comes with age/dedication.

Button seems to be really fixed on the idea that the Flames will take a defenceman with their first pick. I just hope he isn't getting that idea from his brother.
It seems like Treliving has always been consistent that you don't draft for need, you draft the best player available regardless of position.
