Mason McDonald is trending well. I'm not big on taking goalies high in the draft, but when he's playing for Team Canada at the world juniors next year I suspect most will jump on board with the pick.
And in regards to a previous post - obviously you don't want all your 2nd rounders to end up as 4th line guys, but if every single one of them turn out that way and become full time NHLers you are doing better than most.
Go back over the Flames draft history and their most successful 2nd round picks - Steve Begin and Blair Betts were both guys who made careers out of being 4th line guys. Jarrett Stoll is really the only guy the Flames got in the 2nd round who wasn't a bottom of the roster player since Stephane Matteau and Joe Nieuwendyk in the 80s.
