Flames probably have six defenseman in their top ten.

Regardless of who they pick there will be someone not happy because they had another BPA available when the flames were picking.

The Flames have a ranked list so BPA would be the highest ranked player on their list that is still available at their pick.
Regardless of other lists or how fans feel, they should be taking the highest ranked player on their list. Otherwise what's the point of all that scouting, meeting, etc.
With the 9th pick I don't think position should come into play. They need players everywhere and you want to give yourself the highest probability of drafting a star.
