Just to be clear, I do not root against my own team, I hope the pick turns out to be a total slam dunk. I just see the baked in risk and wish a more cautious selection was made with such an important asset.

Also of note I was on the other side of shouting down panicked CP users regarding one Thomas Erixon. I believe I was pretty dismissive and had a lot of bad sky falling takes. When there’s concern about getting a prospect signed it’s a negative plain and simple. There are guys you can draft that don’t require a jet and a conroy to come and play for the flames.
Erixon didn't pan out as an NHLer anyway. So, him not signing with the Flames was ultimately inconsequential.
