Now I certainly get going after high end skill but you have to fill an entire roster and one of the things that bothered me most about trelivings tenure was constantly sending out seconds trying to patch holes on the team.
Getting those third line fourth line and third pairing guys from your own drafts is how we build depth. One of the things i have noticed on message boards is well you can get depth players easily? No. They always come at an expense would much rather have the option of someone from the A. Colorado has struggled to fill their second line center position and the team is a whole lot weaker because if it.

Not sure if you are alluding to this draft or all drafts in general. Yes, it goes without saying that NHLers are found in every draft who can fill basically any hole on a roster. Scoring/defensive/checking/PP QB/Back up goalie, all of them are found in almost if not every draft.
Thing is, it seems to me the Flames are well on their way, through the draft and prospect acquisition, in having that depth already. Zary, Posposil, Pelletier, Honzek, Shwindt, Stromgren, Brutzevich(so?), Piorier, Morin, Grutznikov, Coronato, Wolf, and you can top it off with 8 picks in the top four rounds at this years draft and I’d bet a healthy amount of picks next year and the following by the time those roll around. Flames need top of the rotation players who can carry the load more than depth at this point. If there’s a chance to add that top 15 pick, they should be all over.
