I have very little knowledge on the draft so I can’t make a definitive decision one way or another. Flames obviously seem happy with the pick so that has to count for something. The scouts and Conroy would presumably have done their due diligence and feel like this is “their guy.” I guess I’m disappointed as there seemed to be better options available (based on what some insiders have said). Once again I don’t follow prospects closely so maybe this is a great pick but I would have preferred to have seen a more offensive gifted player taken given what was available at 16. Hope it works out for Calgary and the team gets a stud with this selection.
