Craig's list is always eerily close to what the Flames end up selecting (Mark Jankowski year was so obvious)
Couple that with the fact the Flames have had some significant Russian selections in the last few drafts (Nikolaev, Kuznetsov (small degree) Chechelev) after some in depth scouting of the Russian hockey scene I feel like Svechkov could end up being our pick if he's there.
I don't see a lot of #1/2C in Svechkov but he looks like a solid Backlund 2 way center replacement with potential of a higher upside/ceiling.
