It's just my own opinion. I didn't like this pick but I can understand the reasoning behind making a pick like this, especially since nearly all the other 31 GMs took their own version of this skater in the third round.

Goes without saying, but I think there's a important split in thinking there.
Why would the Flames draft a guy that will only be a 6-7 defenseman if he ever makes it and never put up points?
They didn't.
If they had that assessment they wouldn't have chosen him.
