Alrighty. Final Draft day preference list for each pick.
Pick 6:
1. Nichushkin
2. Lindholm
3. Monahan
Pick 22:
1. Zykov
2. Lazar
3. Morrisey
Pick 28:
1. Hartman
2. Mueller
3. Burakovsky
Outside of first round personal favorites:
Yakimov
Nick Sorenson
Mitch Wheaton
Connor Hurley (Long term project but might be worth the wait)
Slepyshev
And lastly, players worth trading up for with the 22nd pick.
1. Alex Wennberg
2. Bo Horvat
3. Rasmus Ristolainen
I really do think if Nichushkin falls past Carolina the Flames will feel it's a no brainer on who they pick.
After that if they're really high on one of the Centers available 10-16 the Flames will try to trade up in a crazy maneuver like taking DiPietro's contract and buying it out to get the 15th. Something like that anyways.
If Nichushkin is gone I really really hope Lindholm dons the Flames Jersey. Still my favorite center out of the Monahan/Lindholm/Horvat group.
