Yakemchuk is another RD and he's playing for the Hitmen so you'd have to think we will have a good book on him by the draft.
Would be really nice to compliment our prospect pool with potential 1/2 Defensemen at this draft. Having a top-pair D to build around would be an exciting way to enter this next era for the Flames, please grab us some extra 1sts Conroy and let's take some swings at high ceiling players.

I have never been a big fan of using 1st round picks on defensemen. I know, BPA, but optimally, if you have a top 10 pick, you want to take a C.
Especially considering the Flames current prospect pool for Cs is:
1) Zary
2) ... (crickets)
At least on the back-end, we have Morin, Poirier and Solovyov
