Sure, but the need for a dynamic center, which there should be 4-5 legitimate of in the top 10 this year, far outweighs the need to overload further at the D position early in the draft.
The Flames are in good shape on the backend with Mews, Hunter B, Morin, Parekh, Poirer all at various levels of development. If it makes sense in rounds 2-3 absolutely go for another one, but I can't see the team gunning for another blueliner early when the need down the middle is so critical to rebuilding.
If Conroy adds a blue chip C this year, this thing is starting to be on the way back versus continuing to spin its wheels hoping for a homerun for another year or two.
