Went through the last couple of pages and didn't see this thread, so here's the question: who should they take?
I'm assuming that they don't win the lottery and that the consensus #1-3 picks are gone: Ekblad, Reinhart and Bennett. If one of those guys falls to 4, I assume the Flames will take him. The question is, who do they take if those guys are gone?
- William Nylander: top end skill and ridiculous skating, a bit undersized at 5'11 170 but not tiny.
- Kasperi Kapanen: Reportedly has hockey sense as good as anyone in the draft, and the speed and puck skills to back it up. Also a bit on the small side though.
- Leon Draisaitl: Over 200lbs and has great vision, although he isn't a super physical guy for his size. Seems to have consistency issues sometimes. Certainly has every possible tool, though.
- Michael Dal Colle: Not as much high end skill, but the best 2 way player of the bunch, very physical and hard-working. Already 6'2, which doesn't hurt his Burke-rating.
- Someone else? Haydn Fleury? Jake Virtanen? Julius Honka? Probably not Julius Honka but I just like saying Julius Honka.
Any of those would be a damned good pick up... Which would you take?
Not sure how to add a poll.
