I like Svechnikov. I rate him just below Meier/Zacha. I would be OK with him, but I'm set on taking Carlo or Konecny. BPA with the highest ceiling. I think all the other players I rate above them will be gone. We will be looking hard at Merkley and Konecny. I'd take Konecny he is a tougher taller Gaudreau. Merkley has the playmaking, size and vision on him though.
I am shocked at the fact we may have a chance to get Konecny in the mid 1st round - if you told me that after his rookie season in the OHL i wouldnt believe it. Another 67s captain, lets do it!

The Flames have only drafted one Russian in recent memory and it was in the 7th round.
Has Treviling made any comments that have people thinking he might be willing to take Russians high in the draft?
