Good. I hope he is overtaken in the rankings, and the Flames will have to 'settle' for him if they lose the lottery and draft in the 3-5 slot. Or if the Flames finish last, I will love reading all the 'Flames drafted the bust" clickbait write-ups.
McKenna is a franchise-altering player. I hope they have the opportunity to draft him. If they don't, there are legitimate franchise players at the top of this draft (and next). It will be extra fun to follow these prospects (as well as the regular prospects deeper into the draft as usual).
There will be prospects that fall. For instance, Roobroeck was thought of in the top 3-4. Now on some lists, he is around 10th. Maybe with Vegas' pick, the Flames get him too. Or they pick up a riser like Joe Iginla (I bet he rises). Plus, the Flames are likely to add another 1st this year (Andersson and Kadri - I bet one will bring a 1st for this draft, and the other a 1st for next year's draft).
The last draft was exciting. This one is going to be really fun.
