Two things that I feel are true.
1. You want a scouting staff with conviction. If you like someone take him. Don't worry about some fake consensus that doesn't exist, especially in a draft like this.
2. Flames scouts have done very well in the last four or five drafts in finding value. I know nothing about this player, but if they like him their recent success suggests I'm willing to give them the benefit of the result, and not over react to simple internet summaries and rankings.
