Having finally caught up on all of Sandman's excellent contributions and looking at most of the kids who might fall to the Flames, my favourite at the moment is Coronato.
He's only 5'10" but should be a hefty 190 lbs by the time he's in the NHL, and his offensive stats are excellent. He doesn't seem to have skating issues like Sillinger apparently does (poor skating is a pet peeve of mine), and the fact he's not big means he's not just feasting on a bunch smaller teenagers. Plus he seems to be versatile - kind of a plug and play offensive talent - and is also a riser in this draft.
He strikes me as one of those kids that - if you pass on him - people will look back and wonder why teams didn't go for someone whose talent seemed so obvious at the time.
