Except there's no guarantee the C drafted at 18 (if they pick a C) develops into a top 9, nevermind #1C for the Flames.
Whereas Peterka already has had a 68pt season in his 3rd year in the league.
Yes the Flames need a C.
The Flames also need upgrades throughout the rest of the lineup.
The future top C doesn't have to come from this year's draft, and may not even if that's the route they attempt.
