Not that I would want to drop down at all, but the projected 2nd liners don't start until a bit later. In no particular order:
Ekblad
Reinhart
Bennett
Draisaitl
Dal Colle
Ritchie
Ehlers
Nylander
These are what I would consider '1st line projected' players. If the Flames are indeed looking to drop down, 8th is the very last place I would go, not 6th. Rather the Flames just pick at 4th, and I fully expect them to anyways.
