Either way, he is almost 30 and needs to play better than he has so far this season.

Dustin Wolf is 24.

Sucks, doesn’t it?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Coming into this season Gavin McKenna was 100% talked about as a player of that quality, and Stenberg is putting up pretty close numbers in terms of NHLe playing in a men's league too.

So sure, you might not get a player like that even if you do draft top 3. But you are 100% not getting a player like that if you don't draft top 3.

You have a way better chance top 3 but to say 100 percent is also dishonest

Was Celebrini expected to be this good? I don’t remember a lot of hype.

[flambers]

Tough crowd I didn't think Wolf had any chance on any of the 5 he let in

Only weird goal was the second which looked like Wolf thought it was icing

Did Matt Coronato get benched in the 3rd or was he hurt?

Well, people aren’t talking that way about McKenna now, are they?

And remind me where Iginla was drafted. Pavel Bure. Nikita Kucherov. Joe Salic. Theo Fleury.

You're looking for guys like Yanni Gourde and Barclay Goodrow his 2 teammates in Tampa's 2 cup wins!

Now go win a cup somewhere.

But we got him because he already won 2cups...

Why not?

We have seen Bedard and Celebrini in the last couple years . There is at least a star or two at the top of the draft almost every year. What make you think the Flames can get one if they finish last?

That’s a sad argument.

How many #166 draft pick became a star player vs a #1 pick

I’ll wait

[taxbuster]

Thought Huska should have pulled Wolf after the second goal. Did not look his usual focused self. Team needed a boot in the ass as well, and that may have helped.

Bad game, never had the feels in the 2nd or 3rd that they were coming back.

March on to the TDL!

[Robbob]

One thing I noticed last night when Brendan Parker was interviewing Celebrini after the game, is all the talk about Cole Reschny being undersized centre just might go away. Celebrini is pretty much the same as Reschny.

[Sylvanfan]

So the Flames lose a game to the Sharks which helps them in this lottery...but it's no good because they didn't win Celebrini 2 years ago. So there's no point in getting any good future high picks because after Celebrini there will never be any elite level players to be drafted for the rest of eternity and the Flames are ruined because of this. Do I have this right?

Yep, lots of negativity on here this morning. I think a few people are very upset that we lost and improved our pick.

By non-stop bitching and moaning on a message board, game after game, day after day, year after year.

But not when it comes to making the playoffs. Only at the draft table.

He was hyped as most 1st overall picks are but he's a rare case where he's been better than many expected. I recall plenty of draft people saying he wasn't a Bedard tier prospect.
