All the handwringing that goes on during the draft when a player is not picked by McKenzie's or someone else's list is somewhat humorous, but also annoying at the same time.

Gotcha. Good idea. No, no. I definitely understand that the Flames have their own list. When I said that the Flames may have intel about who other teams might pick, I mean like through conversations with 3rd party teams or however teams get information on what other teams are gonna do. I just remember the all-telling Craig Conroy mentioning last year that they thought Zary would still be there when they traded down last year, so I figured the Flames must have some way of determining who other teams might pick.
Maybe they have spies (just kidding)...
