All right, point taken, point accepted.

The Flames are having one hell of a draft in terms of adding raw talent into the organization.

Ideally several RW would have been preferred, but sometimes that's how it goes.

If everyone told you that you annoyed them this thread would be 76 pages by now. 258 if you switch your page settings. You're the last person who should be giving advice on how people should post.

Just one, even just one. But the guys they've taken all have massive upside, cannot complain about that.

I know. I was hoping for the same thing just so the one glaring area of organizational weakness would disappear. And maybe that finnish guy will be there at 126.

Bleackley would be a very nice pick with the fifth. We need that RW depth.

He has conditioning issues and didn't fix them despite being given two years to do so. Big red flag, would be surprised to see a team take him at all but who knows

Stepan Falkovsky might be interesting if he's still available. 6'7" defenseman with talent.

Was heavily speculated Yakupov would get moved on day 2, but nothing yet. Oilers wanted a prospect of some sort, likely only picks offered

The Oil likely continue to overvalue their players. They simply can't get deals done

I'd take a flyer on Yakupov. Our RW depth is so shallow and the price seems to have bottomed out so it's probably a Shinkaruk type price.

Yeah, see if they'll take a 4th.

I meant more like having to give up a guy like Granlund to get him. A guy who leaving won't make or break your roster, so you can take a chance for some upside.
