Why are "we" scared of a dilemma? Isn't ordering players 7-12 generally a dilemma anyways? This one just comes with some extra internal conversation about one particular player in that range.
BPA is still just a lot of opinion, before and short term after the draft.
You'll never know what order the team's board was. You'll never know if they went next player on their list, or deviated.
You'll never know where they ranked Iginla. Did they have him 8th? Did they have him 9th? Did they have him 12th? Where did they have who they take ranked? All of that matters in determining how to grill them from the outside after the fact if it doesn't go the way you want it to, but you and everyone else will always be making baseless judgements about Flames management and scouts on draft day.
