Agreed. If he is their BPA then so be it but I hope they don't pick him when they think a #1D is available because of his last name. It is also why I prefer he is gone by the time the Flames pick. It is just too much of a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation. There would be way less fanfare if he was Joe Smith.
I am also way too lazy to check but does anyone know how his stats compare to other previous top ten picks. He is one of the biggest risers and I wonder if that is being amplified by his last name more than it would normally be.
