I think this aligns with the "top 9 are pretty locked in" consensus - some scouts are going to have one of those 9 guys that they're not as high on as everyone else is, thus reducing the list to a top 8 8. But it seems like it's a different "odd man out" from the top 9 depending on which of those scouts you ask.
Most commonly, it appears that one of Mason MacTavish, Kent Johnson or Simon Edvinsson seems to end up being the "odd man out" for any particular scout, with Fabian Lysell or Chaz Lucius sometimes jumping up a few spots as a result. That said, I have seen Lysell as low as 20 as well (I don't agree with it, but I've seen it).
Also, I agree with the above that Sillinger would be an excellent pick given where the Flames are... but regardless there is almost certain to be at least one good value pick still available, whether it's him or someone else who falls (you could easily see Lucius or Coronato available, and for me Lysell works too).
