It's become much more of a toss up.
I'm with many ... trust in your scouts, they've been great and hope you get the highest pick possible.
But I get what Owen is saying. If the Flames draft 2nd and not 1st and McKenna is gone and they wanted him it's out of their hands. Conversely if they draft McKenna 2nd overall and wanted him it's less pressure than drafting him first. If they never wanted McKenna it's less scrutiny to draft the guy you wanted all along.
You want the control as others have said, but there is a dynamic if you have one less option.

For fans. Easier to say “well we couldn’t pick him anyway”.
If the actual decision is in your hands, you want the choice.
