I got two sets of lists for the top three:

List A)
15. RW Brock Boeser (unless LW/C Kyle Connor slips to us, which he won't. Still, I just sense that the Flames see Sean Monahan in this guy with his automatic release. Those are the two forwards I see us picking as long as one's on the board (and one of the top 10 golden children didn't miraculously fall). If not, I think we go with a D (which is what puts us at List B)
45. RW Jeremy Bracco (just too skilled not to get picked if we get our big RW in the first round. Since we have size already on the left side in Ferland etc, a small right winger could be a great fit)
52. RD Noah Juulsen (Gotta love anybody that's a "out-of-nowhere riser" in the draft (think Poirier). Chances are that he's not still available, but I'm crossing my fingers for it. If not, there's other choices like RD Spencer, LD Briesbois, and LD Wotherspoon... at least one of them is still on the board and I'd be happy with any.)

List B)
15. RD Jeremy Roy (I feel like he has a lot more upside than he's given credit for - seems to be good at everything and poor at nothing. That said, if we gamble on LD Kylington, that works too, only because otherwise he'd become Detroit's new Lidstrom and I would not like that...small chance we go the Chabot route too. Don't see us going the Carlo or Zboril route - though I like both players)
45. RW Zach Senyshyn (looks like the steal of the draft. 6'1 and can skate like the wind with a true power game?)
52. RD Matt Spencer (looks like a top 4D in the making with offense and defense. Will take time to develop, but we'll be able to give him that at least. I like that skating, positioning, and physicality are already there - you're starting at a strong foundation which for a defenseman can be the difference.)

For the bottom six:

53. LW Alex Dergachyov (There's your Burke pick. 6'4" Power Forward with a well-rounded skillset)
75. C/RW Conor Garland (if he's on the board, you take him. Period. Could be Tyler Johnson 2.0 and I think every team is wondering about that seeing TJ rip up the post season to historic proportions)
83. LD Thomas Schemitsch (typical Flames third round pick - needs to work on skating but has the size and IQ to be a real impact player at the NHL level. Lots of offensive skill unlike a Kanzig or Ollas-Maattson, but at 6'4 / 200+ lbs we're still talking about exactly the kind of defenseman this team needs.) Right-handed shot, although he plays left-hand side so far.
136. C/RW David Jankowski (No-brainer. It's a repeat of the Mark Jankowski pick, only a bit shorter at 6'1.)
166. C/LW Tanner Laczynski (Don't know much about him, but Flames love their USHL picks, and this centreman looked like a good roulette choice with 46 points in 57 games)
196. RD Jason Fram (Was in Flames Camp last year as an undrafted guy. Flames love to track and reward progress on those guys as they showed with Hunter Smith and Austin Caroll last year)
