Every team is passing on those guys though.. Just because TSN and some other scouting teams list them higher, doesn't mean they are always right.

In a state of crisis 24/7. Would be interesting to spend a day in his shoes to see what that's like but only a day.

Obviously our scouts don't think they are better players or else we would have taken them

How can you say for sure that other teams didn't have Brandon Hickey higher up on their lists and guys like Glover were lower than him on the list?

Honestly after about pick 35 I know about the prospects about as much as a monkey does. Seeing as several other teams passed on Glover and Karlsson after the Flames I'll trust the scouts.

Some of you realize if the Flames stuck to the consensus boards they wouldn't have Johnny Hockey in their prospect base right? Have some faith that the Flames scouts know a little more about some of these players than some of these internet scouts.

Hickey's a decent pick. Don't know why you'd go that route vs Glover, but it's a good pick.

I guess its just more of a crap shoot here, cant really judge any of these picks until we see them in a few years. Clearly we're going off our list

Offered scholarship to play for Boston University. There's substance there.

Would like to see them get a Right shot Dman and another forward with a high offensive ceiling. Hopefully the next pick is one or the other.

Also Keegan Iverson is an interesting guy if he's still around.
