My fanboy preferential list of players I hope the Flames take this draft.
1. Evgeny Svechnikov. No brainer for me. I was a huge fan of Nichushkin in his draft year and I am honesty glad the Flames passed on him for Monahan. This year, the Flames do not need a Monahan and Svechnikov is Nichushkin lite. A large NHL ready frame who can snipe skate and make plays. A bit of development on defense but Hartley can do that.
2. Oliver Kylington. Sneaking suspicion his slip is going to cost a team or two a star player moving forward. If he is there at the Flames pick and they think they need a D man, He should be their guy.
3. Brandon Carlo. You cannot teach size and he is a really good skater for a man that big. Long term development curve but could pan out in a big way. RH shot addresses a big time weakness on the depth chart.
