Flames at No. 6: Calgary’s Draft Fork in the Road

Calgary sits at No. 6, and that is where the fun starts because the draft room never gets simple that high in the board. The Flames have to decide whether they want the safer track record, the higher-ceiling swing, or the guy their scouts have been grinding on for months while everyone else argues on the internet. This is the kind of pick that can look brilliant on draft night and haunted two years later, which is why the real debate is always louder behind closed doors than on the podium.
