Well the last year's 12 OA Anton Lundell is making indications that his D+2 will be in the NHL with the Panthers.

Reading the article from a Flames POV it is likely that the Panthers will make him their #2C and move Bennett to the 3rd line on the wing

The 2019 12 OA Matthew Brody 6-2 194 lb LW finished his D+2 putting up Gaudreau like sophomore numbers at Johnny's old alma mater and finishing the year with 18 pts in 14 games in the AHL. Not too much of a reach to see him on the Wild this coming year

The 2018 12 OA Noah Dobson 6-4 198 RD was in the NHL in D+2 and a regular solid #5 on the NYI in D+3 He has 80 NHL games plus 20 playoff games

The 2017 12 OA was Martin Necas solid top-6 forward on the Canes

2016 Michael McLeod with 20 pts in 85 NHL games with the Devils played 52 out of 56 games with NJD last season and is 22 so still might make it

2015 Denis Gurianov Dallas top-6 with Dallas

2014 Brendan Perlini Arizona Chicago Detroit 239 games 46 goals 76 pts appears to be done playing in Swiss league 2020-21

2013 Max Domi Phoenix top-6 72pts in 2018-19

2012 Mikhail Grigorenko Buf

2011 Ryan Murphy RD 5-11 198 175 NHL games 43 pts never an NHL regular over his

So out of the Last 10 #12 OA they all look to play 100 NHL games

Necas, Dobson, Domi, Gurianov turned into important players. Lundell and Brody look to be AAA prospects . McLeod is a 22 year old regular with upside, Grigorenko was bottom-6 regular with the bad Avalanche teams. Perlini was a bottom-6 forward Ryan Murphy was a disappointment with a lot of AHL call ups

4 winners 3 still maybe winners, and 3 disappointments.

This pick is vital for the Flames to get right with a high probability of success.
