I think there are tiers depending on where the Flames pick(s) land, and hopefully it is multiple firsts.
Top 5 Pick: Hopefully they win the lottery for Celebrini, but if not then Lindstrom or Catton would be nice C's to have on this roster.
14-16 Pick: Hopefully a team right on the playoff bubble trades for Lindholm or Hanifin and the Flames can pick up one of the d-men here. Yakemchuk, Buium, Parekh, Jiricek, etc.
20-25 Pick: Hopefully another first returned for either Hanifin or Lindholm. And the Dream would be Iginla is still available at this spot.
If you could leave the draft with:
A top center: Celebrini, Lindstrom, Catton
A top d-man: Yakemchuk, Buium, Parekh, Jiricek
A fan favourite pick: Iginla
That would be pretty close to a perfect draft.
