Honestly, as a fan, I want the flames to select a forward as well. Always get more excited about a skilled forward with a high ceiling. Depending on how the draft goes, there should be a solid choice between 2-3 forwards like that at the flames pick. I think there will be lots of surprises though and it won’t shock me if more than one of the top defensemen drop out of the top 10.
I think most of us fans are assuming the flames end up with a forward (Sillinger/Coronato/Lucius/etc.). At this point, it will feel like a shock if the flames end up drafting a defenseman with their first pick.
