I still don't fully understand how Sasha Pastujov isn't ranked higher.

He out produced pretty much every other American on the U-18 or USDP teams, with a good engine, and it isn't like he's tiny. Interesting that people have said skating is an issue in the past in terms of top end speed, but that he can use his edges and turn well to evade defender.

Somebody is going to get a good player. Based on NHLe he's a top 10 talent in the draft.

I'd have no issue if Flames decided to trade back a little bit if they think they could still get Pustajov or Coronato.
