#15) Mantha. I'm not a huge fan of Mantha, but he's got all the tools. With 3 1st round picks, I'd be happy to gamble and hope our remains from Bouwmeester turn into a complete package from a lazy CHLer ala Getzlaf. If a big centre is wanted, I've liked Gauthier for a while. Massive, can play physical (though that's tapered after his injury), two way forward. Sounds a lot like O'Reilly or Couturier from what I hear. Then again, I'd be surprised if Gauthier is still around at 15. I see him as a top 10 pick.
#29) Shea Theodore. This 29th pick is in a bit of no-man's land. I can't see any players I'd really want that couldn't be acquired by trading down and getting another pick out of it. Theodore is a good player though...problem is, almost all his skills are something the Flames have already. He'd be a deadly combination offensively with Brodie, but the lack of defensive awareness and overall grit makes it a bit tough for me to really say this is good since the Flames already struggle with these.
