I've always like Steve Kournianos
Ranking
Quote:
21. Calgary Flames
Time will tell if the steep price in draft picks the Flames paid to land defenseman Travis Hamonic will be worth it, but the parent club is oozing with youth, with more on the way. Defenseman Juuso Valimaki, their top pick in 2017, is both physically and mentally ready to handle the rigors of the AHL, where Calgary has patiently nurtured a handful of NHL-capable players. They received strong minor-league seasons from 2015 draftees Rasmus Andersson and Oliver Kylington, and speedy Dillon Dube was a game-changing two-way forward his entire major junior career.
