I'm sure someone like Dallas or Columbus would love to move up into our spot to draft Lindholm and give up 2 lower first rounders.

In the mock Draft on CP Bo Horvat went #10.
At the Flames pick for #22 there is a solid list of guys that are top players on their junior clubs at age 17. Usually if a player is in the 3 best players on his junior team as 17 year old he gets drafted in the top 10.
At #29 there will be a very good prospect.
Historically from the most recent drafts that have had enough time to be evaluated the #22 pick does better than #6.
2008 #22 pick Jordan Eberle #6 Nikita Filatov
2007 #22 pick Max Pacioretty #6 Sam Gagner
2006 #22 pick Claude Giroux #6 Derrek Brassard
Is Lindholm a surer thing as a franchise centre than Filatov, Gagner and/or Brassard?
