Flames pick second or third pair projected defenceman.

"FFS, this franchise is doomed!"

Flames team have their list and know where they can potentially pick up value in the latter rounds. I'm looking forward to Sandman and those others who know their stuff's analysis of each pick.

Remember, these are kids who've already got a lot of pressure on their shoulders. There's no need to be insulting if they aren't who we wanted. Be pleased for them!

How dare you tell a bunch of middle aged men to stop bullying teenagers. It has been a CP tradition ever since Scorp joined.

Is it just me, or are there a lot of prospects this year who have a skating issue? It seems to be a more common knock on several players in this draft. Maybe a result of interrupted development in this class due to the focus years? Could just be me.

I think the standard of NHL skating has just increased that much. The kids aren't worse than they were, now there are more elite skaters in the NHL than ever.

I felt that way as well.

Its also super strange considering the game is played on ice these guys would put more time into skating issues, but I guess not.

Would absolutely love for us to find a way to move up and get Cristall. High upside and fun as hell to watch.

I would generalize it a little more and say that there are a lot of prospects with alluring potential but pretty serious warts.
You have productive forwards that are combinations of poor skaters, undersized, or lack compete.
There is a big glut of under-sized forwards with impressive production.

The broadcast sucks... talking about the wrong player and they're moving slow... they need more tight comments.
