About this Svechnikov debate, the Flames will pick the best player they feel meets their criteria. If they feel that is Konecny, they will draft him. Konecny has some great upside and great character qualities that fit perfectly in Hartley’s mantra, but if they don’t pick him it will likely be because of size and they don’t want another smallish player. Also, Svechnikov is a RW, and we don’t really have much there that could step in either now in a year apart from Poirier or Klimchuk.

I think if they fall to us (and they won’t) the Flames would draft Connor, Meier, Werenski. Apart from those I think they might draft one of the following:

Forward
- Boeser
- Svechnikov
Both RW, both powerful and a force offensively.
- Konecny (great leadership qualities and just a competitor, but have heard skating is a question mark)

Defense
- Zboril
- Roy
Both very good puck moving defenseman who have a great compete level and would fit in to the Flames team psychology perfectly.
