Also, if you're bored, check out FC's new NHL Draft Simulator, where you can run a lottery, subsequently a mock draft (based off our rankings) or customize your own mock draft to how you see the first round playing out: http://futureconsiderations.ca/nhl-d...ery-simulator/

1. Auston Matthews - C - ZSC Lions
2. Patrik Laine - RW - Tappara
3. Jesse Puljujarvi - RW - Karpat
4. Jakob Chychrun - D - Sarnia
5. Matthew Tkachuk - LW - London

I really like the rankings. Your top 10 is fine for the Flames needs although I'd drop Keller because as we're building around little Johnny in the Pacific and this top 10 has many big, skilled forwards available, we're not taking a little one top 10.

FC's Rankings without Keller:
1. Matthews (C)
2. Laine (W)
3. Puljujarvi (RW)
4. Chychrun (D)
5. Tkachuk (LW)
6. Nylander (W)
7. Dubois (LW/C)
8. Gauthier (RW)
9. Sergachev (D)
10. McLeod (C)
11. Juolevi (D)

I wonder if Max Jones is a dark horse to be high on the Flames list.
