travel_dude Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Carolina the winner for most draft picks in this year's draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Size in their prospect pool is definitely a deficiency of this team, so adding two big forwards with some skill and lots of room for growth isn't necessarily a bad thing in this draft. There are going to be a lot of hidden gems in these rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 The size and skill combo is nice here. I’m all for getting bigger but not at the sacrifice of skill. Flames have struck a nice balance with these last two picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always that chance he surprises us, it's just extra hard to do that on LW. Like @travel_dude says though, the pitchforks stay in the shed until the draft is done. now we have hindsight to fall back on in a few years, so we can say hindsight is 20-20 and kids are hard to predict. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Wouldn’t have a problem with multiple trade downs now. Keep collecting lottery tickets in this type of draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol it would have been funny. I get it though, really. there's no point in drafting a player if they're not a LHS forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, we were probably going to lose anyway as we would have drafted a LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP5029 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 14 minutes ago, cross16 said: Flames continue to add size. Not a flashy pick but a solid one especially in a draft like this one. Power forward type who seems to thrive on the forecheck. Good two way numbers too. upside not really there but lots to like. Well from some of the highlights his foot speed sure isn’t slowing his goals down any… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
