6th – Calgary Flames – Sean Monahan, C (Ottawa, OHL)
With the selection of Ottawa 67’s forward Sean Monahan, the Flames finally land their number one centre they’ve been searching years for. This two-way forward played on a terrible Ottawa 67’s team this year but that didn’t stop him from competing night in and night out, showing a ton of character along the way. Monahan is a responsible two-way centerman who will not wow you with flashy offensive attacks but he knows how to play the game and uses his excellent hockey sense to make an impact in all areas of the rink.
Past five 1st Round picks: Mark Jankowski F (21st, 2012), Sven Baerstchi F (13th, 2011), Tim Erixon D (23rd, 2009), Greg Nemisz F (25th, 2008), Mikael Backlund F (25th, 2007)

25th – Calgary Flames (via St. Louis Blues) – Anthony Mantha, LW (Val-d’Or Foreurs, QMJHL)
In my personal draft rankings, Anthony Mantha is rated as a top 15 prospect but his game isn’t without some concerning qualities leaving me to believe he could slide come draft day. Mantha was one of only a few junior players who cleared the 50-goal plateau so it’s clear the big winger can snipe goals. His ability for putting the puck in the back of the net is within the top echelon of the draft class. It is his wavering compete level that has scouts leaving the rink somewhat concerned. In the end, Mantha’s ability to change the game with one shot will be coveted and that guarantees him a high selection.

29th – Calgary Flames (via Pittsburgh Penguins) – Zachary Fucale, G (Halifax Mooseheads, QMJHL)
The biggest piece of the Jarome Iginla trade could be used to address a departing franchise player this offseason in Miikka Kiprusoff, not former captain Iginla. With rumours surfacing that long-time Flames netminder Kipprusoff will call it quits this summer, GM Jay Feaster would be wise to add a top-notch goaltender prospect to soften the blow. Zachary Fucale is the top ranked puck stopper and he comes with an abundance of big game experience as he continues to lead his powerful Halifax Mooseheads to a hopeful Memorial Cup appearance.
