One guy I am watching pretty closely is McNeil. There was a big camp picking him as the player the Flames should have drafted. He ended up going 18 overall and Baertschi is blowing him out of the water this season.

McNeil only has 22 points in 27 games and is a minus 7.

So far so good in that draft choice.
I was always hoping that Zibanejad would drop enough for the Flames to take him, but now I'm happy that Ottawa picked him, Baertschi is looking like he could end up just as good as Zibanejad, even though Zibanejad made the team out of camp, he's now back in Sweden.
