I guess the steep drop off after the top 15 makes our 2 2nds not as exciting unless Burke can swing a deal to get another first however this might be the type of draft where u can get the same player at #34 that u could in the 20-30 range.
I'm sure it will pick up when we get closer but right now it's pretty much a given we take the last remaining if the top 4

I just have the "blahs" because we have to wait two months for these pesky playoffs to be done. Only way that'll go by quick for me is if Iggy and the Bruins have a nice long run at it.
As for the draft itself, I'm pretty stoked. Flames should be adding another high level prospect to the system, someone who will likely slot in between Monahan and Sven/Poirier on the prospect depth chart.
Plus, the last few drafts IMO Button and company have been doing a real nice job of finding talent past the first round, so two 2nd's and two 3rd's is also something to look forward to as well IMO.
