and i think that 9th - 14th could be had
for me it's the players left on the board.
i think you move heaven and earth to get lindholm or monahan if they're there at 9 or 10 and like-wise for Mantha if he's there at 13or 14th. otherwise keep the picks and try to get erne/ristolianen/gauthier at 20 and rychel/mueller/zykov/petan at 29th

To move up you need to find a team that isn't big on someone in that area - so they are motivated to move down. In a draft with a fair amount of quality in the 9-15 area - I think that is going to be tough to fine. Chances are all teams will have a long list of guys they like in their area.
I think we need to temper our expectations that the Flames are going to be able to move up at all.
