There were consensus better players still on the board when the Flames picked. That would make it a reach. Not like a Jankowski level of reach, but certainly questionable given his low upside, the strength of the draft, and the Flames having not much in the cupboard. It was a head scratcher to play for the bunt in that situation, and it’s coming back to bite them.
In fact when you look at the Flames’ last few drafts, outside of Zary there’s been a lot of whiffs. Starting to question if the Flames’ drafting is really all that it’s made out to be around here.
