D men that might fall to late 1st round (if Flames acquire another 1st) or might get to Flames 2nd round pick:

Julius Honka 5'10'' 176 lbs Shoots R *Watch for him at the WJC*
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=65456
Future Considerations Scouting Report

Honka is a small offensive-minded blueliner who skates very well with strong lateral movements and agility. He's extremely elusive and hard to contain or catch. He possesses good recovery speed and quick on the transition from defense to offense.

Draftsite Scouting Report: http://www.draftsite.com/nhl/player/julius-honka/20906/

Small defender who plays much bigger than his size. Fearless, and will engage anyone to get control of the puck. Is not a flashy up-ice guy, as he plays a solid all-around game with a careful approach to his defensive responsibilities first. Reads the ice well and passes well. Good in tarnsition. Moves well laterally, and is able to close because of his feet.

Brycen Martin 6'3'' 179 lbs Shoots L
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=62212
Future Considerations Scouting Report:

Martin is a smooth skating offensive minded blueliner who has good hands and likes to carry the puck himself. He shows good overall mobility, sees the ice well and makes good passes and plays well under pressure.

Top Shelf Prospects Scouting Report: http://lastwordonsports.com/2013/11/...-part-2-11-20/

At 6’2″ already this 17-year-old has ideal NHL size. He is a solid two-way player, who does good work in both ends of the ice. He is a very good skater with speed in both directions and has the pivots and edgework necessary to be extremely mobile at the back-end. He makes strong passes on the breakout and on the power play, and has a decent point shot. Defensively, he’s a smart player who is good positionally and works hard in battles along the boards and in front of the net.

Jack Glover 6'3'' 172 lbs Shoots R
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=168703
Future Considerations Scouting Report:

Glover is an impressive two-way defenseman who has good overall mobility. He's always aware in all three zones and defends with a physical edge, using his frame to separate pucks and size to clear the crease. He moves the puck well and has a good outlet pass.

Top Shelf Prospects Scouting Report: http://lastwordonsports.com/2013/11/...-part-3-21-30/

Glover is a solid two-way defence prospect. He has good size and plays the defensive game with a physical edge. He is willing to throw the body, and to battle in his own end of the ice. He’s extremely smart as he reads the play well anticipating passes and causing turnovers, and always making the smart play with the puck on his stick. There is offensive potential, as he is a very good passer, able to make a good outlet pass, and uses great vision and creativity to really quarterback the play from the blueline. He has a good wrist shot and good release, and uses it to make sure he gets his shot on net and create rebound and tip in opportunities for teammates. He doesn’t have a huge slapshot though, not at this point.

Anthony DeAngelo 5'10'' 150lbs Shoots R
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=89818
Future Considerations Scouting Report:

DeAngelo is a smooth skating, offense-generating defenseman who has some very quick feet. He's slippery and very creative with the puck. His offensive awareness is incredible but is easily out-muscled in his own end and needs to work on his positioning.

Draftsite Scouting Report: http://www.draftsite.com/nhl/player/...eangelo/19507/

Elusive undersized defenseman with a calm demeanor, great wheels, and an really quick stick. A riverboat gambler.

Joshua Jacobs 6'2'' 194lbs Shoots R
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=168704
Top Shelf Prospects Scouting Report: http://lastwordonsports.com/2013/11/...-part-3-21-30/

Jacobs is a big defenceman who has put up 8 points in 14 games for the Indiana Ice in the USHL. He showing added offence this year after a solid rookie year where he showed a good defensive game for a 16-year-old. He is a very good skater, with a fluid stride, good top end speed, and explosive acceleration. He uses his size effectively exploding into big hits and battling hard along the boards and in front of the net, as well as being a willing shot blocker. He does need to work on his positioning, as well as a habit for giveaways, but he is young and raw with excellent potential to grow past those issues.

Draftsite Scouting Report: http://www.draftsite.com/nhl/player/...-jacobs/20530/

A promising two way defender with size and presence. Already displays pro-like decisions and coolness. Has a long reach, and is already functionally strong. Can be the first man due to his smooth powerful quickness and puck carrying abilities. Can really let the puck go. The bonsus is he is difficult to go around on dee, and is a punishing checker whose balance lets him stay in the play after a devastating hit. Much to like about him. Was named to the U.S. World Junior A roster for the Junior A Challenge.

Jacob Middleton 6'4'' 195lbs Shoots L
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=150872
Future Considerations Scouting Report:

Middledon is a big-bodied, two-way defender that has strong mobility and a willingness to jump into the play. He makes heady passes and shows good vision and on-ice smarts. He isn't afraid to add a physical tone to the game, either.

Top Shelf Prospects Scouting Reprot: http://lastwordonsports.com/2013/11/...-part-3-21-30/

Acquired from Owen Sound at the trade deadline last year, the 67s hope Middleton will become part of their core going forward. So far so good as he’s taking top four minutes as a 17-year-old. At 6’4″ Middleton has the ideal size that NHL teams are looking and will catch many scouts eyes this season. He is also tough, throwing hits, playing mean and clearing the front of the net, and being aggressive in the corners. He is a decent skater, with good edgework and agility, making him an agile big man on the blue line. He didn’t show much offence as a rookie, but did show decent defensive ability. This year he’s put up 7 points in 23 games, showing a bit of development in this aspect, but its his defensive game that gets him noticed on a rebuilding Ottawa club.

Jack Dougherty 6'2'' 185lbs Shoots R
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=204300
Future Considerations Scouting Report:

Dougherty is an intelligent defenseman who tries to blend strong positioning while trying to inflict a physical dimension on his opponent. He isn't the fleetest of foot, but does get where he needs to go. He also makes a strong first pass and has solid offensive instincts.

Draftsite Scouting Report: http://www.draftsite.com/nhl/player/...ugherty/21001/

Excellent long term defensive prospect with a long frame, light skates, and puck moving skills. Not fancy, makes that first pass, and is poised and confident in his own end. Had upside as a PP guy, with a developing strong point shot and strong wrister.Rangy two-way defender who can carry and move the puck up ice and also provide some mustard and jam as a defender. An effortless skater with great mobility acceleration and elusiveness. Reads the sheet and passes extremely well. Can let loose an excellent shot on the move, put it on the tape, or skate it it in. His natural balance and feet let him close well and body check with power. Was named to the USA Developmental team playing in the Ivan Hlinka Tournament. A developing prospect who is rising up the boards.

Alexis Vanier 6'5'' 225lbs Shoots L
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=128447
Future Considerations Scouting Report:

Though he has skating issues, the rest of Vanier's package is very entertaining. The hulking defenseman isn't shy to throw the body and picks his spots well. With his frame, he also has a booming shot that is highly effective on the power play.

Draftsite Scouting Report: http://www.draftsite.com/nhl/player/...-vanier/21243/

Huge defender who is starting to develop edge, as he improves his all-around game and feet. must make big strides in terms of stop/starts, and lateral movement if he is to to be given consideration if he wants his name called.
