A lot of solid guys for sure, but not a lot of high end flashy skill.
There are a few guys that are good, Da Chief's list is pretty good, but there isn't really a second tier beyond that.
Only about 8-10 guys that are noteworthy and the rest at this point are your typical mid/late 1st rounders. That can of course change over the course of the season, but it's not great as it stands right now. Last year there were about 18-22 guys that were interesting in some capacity at this point. Two of those guys fell off (Sprong and Kylington). There isn't the quantity of good as there was the last couple years. Mind you the past three drafts were some of the strongest since 2000. I would only consider trading our 1st if it was 15 or later with emphasis on later. With the Flames start, there's pretty much no way I'd deal it.
