Just goes to show that any hard and fast 'rules' shoot you in the foot - take the best player available, period, and you are more likely to have success long-term.

The Flames probably aren't picking early enough to get Monahan and Tkachuk if they had picked Vasilevski. We're going to see that hypothetical scenario play out with Wolf, though.
