Doing some reading up on potential picks at 26. I think that because this draft is so deep at centre, the Flames will be able to find a decent BPA in that position.
A player that I could see falling to 26 is
Alex Newhook who is ranked as high as 9 by elite prospects but as low as 20 by TSN/McKenzie.
Newhook simply dominated in the BCHL and is committed to Boston University next year.

Speed for days and the disregard for safety to use it anywhere. Dangerous hands, good hockey sense and is equally deadly with the pass or the shot. Already a strong defensive player.

I think that the league he performed in, and the college factor, will contribute to a small slide.
