If feaster is taking about it he really must want to talk Lindholm into be taken before the Flames pick.
Either Barkov falls to the Flames of the Flames take Monahan.
Either way if Lindholm is gone before the Flames pick then Feaster is not going to be blamed for passing on him.
Jones, Mackinnion, Drouin, Barkov, Nurse leaves the Flames picking Monahan and the Oilers having to pass on both Nichushkin and Lindholm (for the same reasons the Flames pass on them... teams in need of grit).
Sabres with Gerbe Ennis and Hodgson as their young small talented guys might pass as well.
Lindholm either gets picked 4-5 or 10-11 not that much of a drop.
With LA and Boston doing well in the Playoffs the NHL will be swing back to an extra premium on big gritty players.
