Both were projected second round picks, I assume mostly because McDonald had a stellar performance at the U-18's.

That draft was horrific all around. The next pick they drafted a forward who had one point in 30 games in his first draft year. The next pick was Brandon Montour. Somehow the Flames found a way to avoid drafting a local kid who was 11th in WHL scoring in his draft year on a team where the second leading scorer finished 36 points behind him.
