Flames have done just fine making picks outside of the top ten and the first round. While it would be nice to have a franchise center right now too, I suspect the Flames will find a way to piece together a pretty great team with their drafting prowess. It's also a hard cap league, and some star players will become available to supplement that drafting. Trades happen too. There isn't one way to build a team.

8 of the top 20 Centers (as listed on NHL.COM) were drafted out of the top 10. Hintz and Aho in the second round. Sure I’d rather a few of the top picks on that list, but I’d be more than happy to land an Aho or Hintz with a late 1st.
