The Flames have a pretty solid stable of young D men, so I won't be crushed if they don't get Dupont. They really need a centre. Having said that, if they do end up getting 1OA, can you imagine the Flames D in the near future - Dupont, Nemec, Carels, Parekh, Bahl and Kuznetsov or Bru (thank you again Canucks for including him in the Lindholm deal
). That would be the best D in the entire league.
If they all pan out it would also be the most unaffordable blueline in the league. You would be praying that at least 3 of them could put up points like Bobby because none of your top forwards would be anything more than 50 point producers.

As I said, I really hope they get a centre. Even without Dupont, they have a pretty good blue line. Chances are, the Flames aren't going to get the first overall pick anyway.

You spelled Canucks wrong.
