But the flames have two homeruns picked at 6th overall. Monahan and Tkachuk blew away expectations.
The flames are one of only 4 teams in the league never to pick 1st overall. We are due. In the top 3 is by far the most statistically likely place to pick a franchise-altering talent. Our pick of Sam Bennett does not change that absolute fact.

did you even read what I said?
I said KEEP ALL YOUR OWN PICKS
I would prefer good to very young players to late first and 2nds.
My point is people over value picks IMO...not all picks, if someone wants to give us a top 5 pick sure.
