At 6, as long as one of the big 3 doesn't slide, Fleury looks good to me as well. At that point, everyone has question marks. I think Draisatl could turn that big 3 into a big 4, and Dal Colle looks like a guy in the top 5.
If the season ended today, Calgary would pick 5th, but possibly 1st or 6th, depending on the lottery.
#1 = Reinhart/Bennett/Ekblad (hard time choosing, as they all address key organizational needs and are hard to separate, could always trade down to the #2 or #3 spot if a team is desperate to get their guy)
#5 = Draisatl/Dal Colle - both slot into an area of organizational depth, but you pass on BPA at your peril. I see these two as a notch above the next group
#6 = Fleury, or maybe Virtanen/Kaspanen if they really want a RW. Ehlers or Perlini might be worth a look too.
The hope would be that a team above the Flames really wants a guy like Ehlers, and that allows one of the higher ranked players to slide. It will be interesting to see who slides, since there is at least one in every draft
