What I did say was there were a number of players who were for sure going to go early in the 2nd round (listed those) because the scouts and "insiders" ranked them very highly as impact players.
We all know the draft is a complete crapshoot but certain picks/players give you a better shot. Dont even know why I have to type this out lol....

Well, that is quite a leap. Scouting is important for exactly reasons like this. The Flames aren't making their picks based off of what The Athletic or ESPN is writing.
I'm not sure why you're so upset the Flames didn't give up assets to trade up and draft a player that you haven't even watched play. The majority of players picked from here on out won't make the NHL.
You do know players such as Datsyuk, Benn, Gaudreau, Point, Brodie, Fox, etc were picked later in the draft? Enjoy the day, this fun!
