In some ways I wonder if the flames prioritize defenceman in this draft, this rebuild is going to take 5 plus years, would it not make sense to draft defense first as they typically take 4 -5 years before they can make an impact at the NHL level.
I am a diehard flames fan, my 12 year old son is an oiler fan, but after going to the oiler game last night I can tell you rebuilding is worth it, it's fun watching the younger players play, and eventually it pays off, the organization just needs to put the sacrifice in, don't rush the rebuild, and watch it all pay off in the end.
Honestly at this point I know fans talk about, "well you still have to ice a hockey team" and while true to a certain extent, I just don't know if it's even worth signing hanifin or keeping markstrom, time to bottom out, reset, grab as many draft picks as you can.
