Surprised that so many have Sven up so high. I have him at the bottom half of the top 10. I think he needs a good year in the AHL this year. A ppg pace all season and then a good playoff too.

I have Granlund higher than Sven at this point. He was the better player for the Heat last year and he stepped up in the playoffs too, something that Sven did not do.

Every time I hear Conroy talk about Granlund, he can barely contain his enthusiasm. I think Granlund actually makes the Flames this year and I actually see more NHL skills in him than Sven. He has a better shot, better release, and more speed and agility.

Granlund seems to be one of the more unheralded prospects for the Flames. Doesn't seem to get as much love as some of the other kids. Same with Reinhart. The kid scored at a ppg pace last year in the AHL (regular season and playoffs) despite being projected for a bottom six role. I think both these guys along with Gaudreau are the main challengers for NHL spots at camp.

Oops sorry got totally ahead of myself. I went with Gaudreau over Bennett. There's something really special about this kid.
