Athletic staff mock draft has McKenzie selecting
16. Calgary Flames: Brayden Yager, C, Moose Jaw (WHL)
The Flames are in need of dynamic talent whichever way they can get it through this draft class. Considering they’re in best-player-available territory, having a player like Yager fall to them at 16 would go a long way to bolstering their prospects cupboard. The goalscoring ability, despite his size, is a bit too tantalizing to pass up for Calgary. — Julian McKenzie

Their mock has three players in my average below pick 16 taken ahead of 16, as well as the average 14th and 15th picks.
That leaves ...
9 Oliver Moore
12 Cody Barlow
13 Matthew Wood
16 Edward Sale
17 Brayden Yager
20 Quentin Musty
21 Otto Stenberg
22 Andrew Cristall
on the board when Calgary picks.
