Using THW War Room rankings (
http://thehockeywriters.com/2014-nhl...ruary-edition/) we can probably start having a look at players we'd like the Flames to pick in the 2nd & 3rd rounds with a clearer eye (and inevitably blow a gasket when they're passed on several times by Burke & co).
Here are a few interesting prospects whose names I haven't often seen that could potentially be available in the 2nd or 3rd round:
53 RD Ben Thomas (WHL): 6'2", 193lb Calgarian, plays for. Hitmen

58 RD Aaron Irving (WHL): 6'1", 189lb gritty D man
59 LW/RW Juho Lammikko (Finland): 6'3", 189lb skilled LH winger
60 RD Aaron Haydon (OHL): 6'3", 190lb strong, mobile D man
62 RD Ryan Collins (USHL): 6'5", 205lb SAH D man; committed to NCAA
63 C/RW Nick Magyar (OHL): 6'2", 194lb complete game; high hockey IQ
75 G Linus Soderstrom (Sweden): 6'4" cool & calm goalie.
83 RW Keegan Iverson (WHL): 6'0", 219lb power winger (low skill)
85 RD Brett Lernout (WHL): 6'4", 205lb monstrously physical D man
86 LD Travis Sanheim (WHL): 6'3", 181lb mobile D man (Hitmen)
89 LW Blake Clarke (OHL): 6'1", 199lb power winger (high skill; was ranked top 5 in preliminary rankings — year derailed by injury)
