I feel for Zary, Coronato, Honzek, Pelletier, Pospisil, Suniev, etc. Busting their ass and still part of the virtual no talent up front group.

If the Flames have some of the stud dmen available and take a forward who they do not think is BPA that would be tragic. I myself would prefer a dman this draft because they are almost certainly drafting top 10 next draft and that draft looks much weaker on the backend, which would leave drafting a top pairing dman to the 2026 draft.

With the number of picks the Flames have I would feel much more confident about them finding some forward diamond in the rough than a dman. I would also feel more confident that they find a good forward with their likely top 10 pick next year or their likely top 10 pick in 2026.
