Rossi leaves questioning ‘why’? Not sure I’d be too keen on giving up draft capital just yet on a player like this. I think unless there is significant upside (I would consider Johnson to be) then the Flames should be coupling these kind of acquisitions with top 5 picks, like Montreal has. 9OA isn’t quite there. Flames focus should be on acquiring another top 12-15 pick.

If you listen to Flames talk mailbag from a few days ago Steinberg and Gilbertson both confirm that Necas is in Conroy's targetted age and exactly the kind of player he will call about. Those two are very connected with the organization so I have no reason to doubt what they say.
