And I think it’s fair to say the Flames are missing this from their pool right now . Sure we have guys who COULD play on the 1st line (wingers potentially) but ideally on a cup competing team those guys are your 2nd line wingers

And that's not a slight on the organization because they haven't had a pick better than 13th overall since 2016 and there's only one Dallas Stars who are the exception not the norm. There's a lot of luck required to unearth blue chip players outside the top 5 or top 10 and it's why teams in the top 10 of the draft rarely ever trade down because the odds of finding A prospects decreases dramatically.
