I went with Santini as I think he could turn into a dominant shut down beast. He may not be the sexiest pick, but he could turn out to be the type of guy who plays 20+ tough minutes a night against the other team's best players.

He is a very good skater, rarely makes mistakes under pressure and likes to clear the crease. He is also 6'1 and 210 pounds, which is decent size. He may actually be one of the more NHL ready defensemen.

(Looks like I'm the only one who likes him at this slot)

My second pick: Hartman - Heart and soul competitor who plays a 200 foot game. Apparently, he had a shoulder injury for the second half of the season and still put up good numbers (He is also one of the older players in the draft). I think he may have decent offensive potential though and the other facets of his game are very good.

Third pick: Bowey - By all accounts, he is a very good puck handler and distributor who is well rounded. I like his upside

Petan - really? This is a guy who will disappear in the playoffs. Don't get me wrong, I love the small guys and I will get behind any Flames pick. However, I have a hard time believing he will be an impact player in the post season.
