Would be interesting to see how deep the Flames' prospect pool would be if they had more picks, but at the same time, in a situation like with Eichel, when you have a strong prospect pool and are looking to contend now, it's a no-brainer.
Maybe the Flames use his model to draft hah. I would bet the majority of rankings would have the Flames 20 or lower. I hope he is right!
