I think there are 3 main possibilities: Brouwer, Shink, or Poirier.
It it highly depends on what they do with other teams.
I predicted Brouwer based on the following
- The Flames don't have particularly attractive younger players so they will pick those up from other teams
- Vegas needs some leaders and some guys who can play. Brouwer can do both.
- They also need to reach the cap floor.

But I could easily see them picking Hunter instead and take a shot at a younger guy with more long term upside.
