Pretty much a classic big center type in how he moves.
I think the idea of trading up is based more on Feaster's "elite 4" comment than any public list. If some other team has an "elite 3" or "elite 7", that's an opportunity for a trade.

Agreed, if Feaster sees 4 franchise players, of course he's going to try and trade into the top 4 before hand. And yes that will put our other firsts on the table.
Nashville is the obvious target to me, I'm pretty sure it was Feaster who was already calling Poile. It would be necessary to find out if he likes the same 4 guys as much as the Flames do.
If it's the difference between a franchise player and the average top 10 prospect in the 6-10 range, I'll gladly accept the Flames giving up a late 1st for that franchise guy.
