I think I'm after Bobby Brink with the first this year. Projected to go somewhere in the mid 20's. Plays in Sioux City with Pospisil so the Flames will be familiar with him. 35 goals and 33 assists in 43 games to lead his team in scoring.

He was the USHL forward of the year and should be going to play in Denver next year with Pettersen.

Scouts say he has one of the best shots in the draft and is a sniper. Real good acceleration, but needs to work on his speed after that. In addition to his shot he has soft hands and can score in tight. Makes clean zone entries and is a solid playmaker to boot.

Supports well in the defensive zone and is known for creating turnovers. Comparisons I see the most are TJ Oshie and Alex Debrincat.

Also, Bobby Brink is a great hockey name.

If Brink is gone, I wouldn't mind taking Spencer Knight too. I'm typically not a fan of taking a goalie in the first round, but this kid has it all. Since it's a late first if he pans out it could pay huge dividends in 3-4 years. Reminds me a bit of when TB took Vasilevskiy.
