Maybe he had inside information from his brother, or maybe not, but it made me notice, as his list could have some indication of where the Flames are looking.
He also had Tim Erixon top 10 on his list the year we took Erixon. I've theorized about the Button connections in the past and I certainly think some of the wildcards on Craig Button's list can tell us about players that Tod Button may have higher than others do. Which should make the Craig Button rankings of even more interest to Flames fans.

Definitely one of the interesting lists to keep an eye on. The more opinions you read on the draft and don't immediately dismiss the more you are going to have a good handle on which guys could go higher than some think and which could go lower.

Obviously this draft could be one of the most important for the Flames in the past couple decades if the season is lost and we end up with a premium pick.
