The nice thing about that is that often in the 2nd round, you get teams eyeing each other, both wanting to draft a particular player and getting their testosterone in a wad lest the other guy get him first. Nearly every year, somebody overpays to move up and snag a particular player (who often busts anyway).

If the opportunity is there, this could be one of those years where the Flames trade down within the 2nd round and pick up an extra 3rd or 4th. Or trade their 2nd outright for multiple picks.
