So here's how my draft list goes if I'm the Flames. Assuming McDavid, Eichel, Marner, Provorov, Hanifin, Werenski, Strome are simply out of the question.

1) Barzal - a stud. Hoping he falls to 15, or we trade up with Florida...which still requires him to fall to 11
2) Connor - another stud. Dunno where the fit for him is on the team, the only LW I don't mind drafting.
3) Boeser - just keeps growing on me. I don't mind if the Flames go way off the board and just take him at 15.
4) Roy - He's not Provorov, but looks like the next best thing.
5) Chabot - A lot of reports seem to be saying he's closer to the Werensky/Hanifin/Provorov group than the Roy/Zboril/Kylington group. That's encouraging.
6) Kylington - okay, fine, roll the dice and see if we get a HoFer or a 2nd round pick from the Canucks
7) Sprong - not quite Kovalchuk 2.0, but seems to have a strong skillset for a right wing.
8) Carlo - I don't consider him a reach, even if his offensive upside is more limited, I still like the package he brings.
9) Zboril - Could be the Hjalmarsson to Giordano's Keith and Brodie's Keith.

Any of those 8, preferably taken in that exact order depending on who's on the board, and I will be happy with the draft. Not that I'd be disappointed with Konecny, Crouse, Raantanen, Svechnikov, or Guryanov, Merkley, or Meier.
