Some of you guys have a really strange aversion to the Flames picking high, it makes no sense whatsoever. Fretting about a top pick not becoming Celebrini is a completely irrational reason not to actually want that draft position.

This was the string that sparked my comments. But I also tried to be clear that I'm still 100% on board with the need for high picks for the reasons you say.
But I do think some view it as a more guaranteed thing than it is in reality.
