3) Oilers - Bennett With their two preferred selections off the board, the Oilers decide to draft for character and tenacity instead of picking up another player similar to Hopkins.
4) Flames - Reinhart The Flames are very happy to select arguably the best prospect in the draft. Reinhart projects as a number 1 offensive center that should develop into a key member of the powerplay and provide a right-handed alternative to Monahan for key draws.
I could also see Bennett going to the Sabres and Reinhart going to anyone who thinks he's the BPA (after all, even on McKenzie's list, Ekblad was only first on 7/12 lists).
This is going to be a fun draft because the Flames are firmly set within a 'consensus top 5' (according to Bob).

Edmonton - Ritchie (  ) ... They wanted size, and felt Ritchie is the best prospect to go with!
Edmonton gets screwed over twice, and picks a prospect that barely should be in the top 10.
Only problem for the Flames is the option between picking on what Sam we want... I would prefer this problem than having no Sam at all. |
Pfft....Thats nothing.
Calgary will trade Chris Butler's rights to Edmonton for their 1st round pick because Butler is like 10 Giordanos and then Calgary picks both Sams. Awww Yiss!
