This is the part that irks me about how they've approached this whole situation.
Instead of being "bad" and just embracing the rebuild, the Flames could have had any of Misa, Frondell, Desnoyers, Martin, Hagen, O'Brien, McQueen, or Kindell along with Reschny.
So instead of having one center prospect and a potential Mangiapane type player, we could have two legit top center prospects.
We have to wait another full season to potentially get a top center, which if we are picking in the top 3, that won't be the case this year unless we reach as both of Stenberg and McKenna are wingers and Verhoff is a D-man.
It's so frustrating that they don't want to rebuild and be Buffalo yet their decisions are causing them to go exactly down the path that Buffalo took.
