The audio Gods aren’t shining down on this this week, as we all have some audio issues.

There are a lot of questions on the mind of Flames fans this time of year, that we’ll attempt to answer…Are there big changes happening in the Flames front office? Is this a year when pick quantity might be more important than quality at the NHL Entry Draft? Should the Flames move any veterans before next season?

In the second of our two part look at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, we take a look at the Flames later two picks in the first rounf (project to be 25 and 29), and who the Flames might draft with those picks.
