Order of preference for me:
1) Celebrini (C)
2) Lindstrom (C)
3) Demidov (C/LW)
4) Levshunov (D)
5) Silayev (D)
6) Dickinson (D)
7) Parekh (D)
8) Buium (D)
9) Helenius (C)
10) Catton (C)
11) Iginla (LW/RW)
Without a doubt a #8 overall pick would fantastic if we could get it. IMO there's still an outside chance that Demidov or Lindstrom drop to that pick because of an run on defensemen, and if not the Flames are still left with a top-pair potential D by that pick. I also have a feeling that Eiserman will get picked alot higher than he's been projected. My money is on Arizona or Columbus taking a gamble on the scoring pedigree and ignoring the warts.

I think they guy you are missing in that list is Yakemchuk who also could go top 10.
So to me that starts to shape up to being a top 13 that is very compelling - which includes Iginla and Eiserman probalby near the end of that.
I would prefer top 10 to have a chance at one of the better Dmen.
