I agree that Lias Andersson would be a good pick for the Flames.
However, I don't think he's that far (if at all) ahead of the bolded.
I'd be fine with any them though.

I'm really just hoping the Flames don't pick another large player without offensive upside (Greg Nemisz). A top 16 pick should have top 6/top 4 upside. Very few 3rd line players in the league are worth mid-first round picks in terms of trade value.
