I agree but at what cost? Those three teams drafting 1-2-3, and in that order, is the trifecta of suck.
Calgary drafting #5 would be nice but not at that price imo. I'd rather draft at #7 and keep a couple of those rival teams out of the top three.

The players are all pretty similar in that range. I guess it would be the difference of choosing a player or being left with a player. Although it did seem to work alright with Monahan and Bennett.

Given the fact they are rivals and in the division I think it has to be taken as a whole.
Oilers and Canucks getting the first two picks and the whole thing sucks no matter where Calgary ends up (unless the Cgy pick turns out to be the best player in the draft)

Only good thing here is that Vanvouver gets bumped out of the top 3.

Oilers shouldn't pick until the 5th round. Lottery fixed.

IMO the whole of CP is acknowledging that the Flames are soft in picking Dubois as the next best player after the top 3....
|
CSS has Dubois ranked as the #1 North American Skater Prospect, Nylander at #3. But yes, CP is just ignoring the BPA because we are traumatized at the softness of this team. Never mind that Dubois has franchise player potential even if he were soft, because he has the size, speed and skill.

OMG I VOTED 9, confused about the scale.
I'm an awful person, I meant a 2. (Could've been worse if Vancouver drafted higher).
So much shame.

Vancouver didn't get a lotto pick and two of the three went east. But yes this one stinks.
I rate it a three. Could have been a four but I think there was a better option for the Flames pick that they don't take.

Taking a while to get to 5000

Parallax: That's fair. I think I was fixated on the McLeod pick at 7 which I'm not personally fond of.

According to my criteria, this should be a 2.... But the Oilers in first make it a 1.

I think we are getting a top 3 pick. I just have this feeling we are coming away with one of those studs.
How amazing would it be to have a Bennett-Matthews combo to go with Johnny-Monny and Backlund-Frolik?

It's pretty bad, but I'm pretty sure Matthews is the type to refuse to sign with the grease. Would be hilarious.
As long as the oilers (and nucks, and toronto, and jets) don't get their grubby, prospect-ruining hands on one of the Finns, I'll be pretty happy with this draft. Bonus points if a Finn gets picked by the Flames.

Does your observation change the rating of Nylander versus McLeod? Why would Bingo want to pick McLeod ahead of Nylander?
Does Dubois have as much franchise potential as Poirier? as an 18 year old Poirier put up the same or better numbers in the Q as Dubois as a 17 year old.
CP group think awareness of the softness of the Flames goes well beyond wanting the biggest highest PIM draft pick available.
The recurring dream-theme is getting Lucic / Backes as a UFA signing... with absolutely no love for the more skilled softer (cheaper) players Hudler/ Frans Nielsen

Frans Nielsen ain't soft. Your definition of softness is too narrow

Oilers getting Matthews? Whats new? That's a zero vote.
Sens getting a Finn? Love it, in the East and I don't hate the Sens.
Sabres getting another RH shot in their system? Lame-ish but at least in the east again.
Picks 2 and 3 get 2.5 points combined.
Flames taking Mcleod and making FDW barf? Priceless. But I'll gladly watch McLeod put on Flames silks on the draft stage. Contrary to the popular vote I feel like McLeod fits the bill for the Flames. Size, Tenacity, Speed, IQ, defensive game. Just needs his scoring to catch up to the rest of the package. 1.5 points.
Voted a 4.

Are there any soft player in the NHL under your definition of soft?
Nielsen did have 8 more hits but 2 less PIM than Hudler's Lady Byng award season.
Why isn't he on anyone's list of who will be in the Flames starting line-up?
