I'm guessing the Flames having a "grouping" of players that they want.
They'll wait to see if anyone like Eklund, Johnson, or maybe Lucius drop to the pick at 12 OA.
If none of them do (probable), I wouldn't be surprised if the Flames ended up trading down a few spots. For an example, it might be wise to trade down to 16 OA and pick up Matt Coronato.
It would be nice to have another 2nd or 3rd round pick.
If I had to pick 12th OA, I would probably go with Mason McTavish. He has played pretty well everywhere he's gone in the past 2 years.
