Sillinger (C)
Lucius (C)
Raty (C)
McTavish (C)
Ceulemans (D)
Coronato (LW)

We have a good chance of drafting a top notch C or D prospect. I know BPA is preached, but the draft is so tight this year that positional need could very well be the way to go. For the Flames, we need help in all departments. Personally speaking, I would like to get one of Powers, Hughes, or Clarke.
If we were to somehow end up with Carson Lambos, that would give us a good D prospect going forward as well, much better than Ceulemans. Lambos had 32 pts in 57 games LAST year in the WHL, which would indicate that he'd be tearing it up this year if he had played more than 2 games.

I still think the dream scenario would be to end up with one of Guenther, Beniers, or Johnson-those 3 have strong potential to be top-line players.
