Can we add Ollas-Maatson to that list?

A little disappointed, I was really hoping Calgary would take a flyer on Brayden Burke from the Hurricanes. Other than that I really have no issues with picking this kid. Probably won't ever play but you never know.

He must be an awful skater.
Seems like more guys who were skipped over in previous drafts were picked this year than usual.

That happens when there is not as much talent in the draft itself. A lot of draft +1 or 2 eligible people in 2012 as well.

Guy is qualified to be a security guard when the Flames start building their new arena.

Did the Leafs take 4 of these guys? They did have a lot of picks so probably worth a shot.

Button also says 7th rounder Falkovsky was on their radar at 2015 Draft, but didn’t have enough of a book on him due to injuries. #Flames

Red line report back in December
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...leod/77883912/
Quote:
The biggest — and we do mean biggest — story out of the OHL this past month has been the play of human condor Stepan Falkovsky (seven goals, 17 points). The Ottawa 67s’ imported defenseman is 6-7, 225 pounds, and has some terrific offensive skills that he started putting to good use in November after an early adjustment period to North America.
The Belarus native moves stunningly well for such a behemoth, and is hyper aggressive at the offensive end, where he’s constantly pushing the attack and forcing the play at the blue line. He moves down off the point and unleashes rocket wristers from the slot, or he can just blow cannon blasts by netminders from the point. The downside is that he turns 19 later this month and has barely a nodding acquaintance with his own defensive zone. He’s also not a natural killer in terms of using his physical presence around the crease.
But, when you have a guy with that size who has that kind of puck skills and a huge shot, teams will always start dreaming on him becoming the next Zdeno Chara (who by the way, was never thought of as a dominant force in junior).
Falkovsky will require years of teaching and patience before an NHL club can expect to see any payoff. But if he pans out down the road … wow!

This guy is nothing like Kanzig, Bruce, etc.

He had a good year with the Hitman, It's either Stockton or Adirondack.

Is it possible this kid gets converted to forward? Could make for a good 4th liner.
