Lindstrom could slide because of injuries.
Silayev could slide because he may have a lesser likelihood of reaching his ceiling.
Eiserman could slide because he’s 1 dimensional.
The Flames will have a choice of whoever slides or Buium, Iginla, Yakemchuk, and Helenius.
I think they should just take Iginla unless one from the top tier lands in their spot.

Catton > Iginla > or the next top forward regardless, this team needs a highly skilled forward more than a skilled Dman that would likely take 4-5 years to make any impact. as much as I like some of the D available this year the flames already have 3 young offensive defensemen in the pipe, hopefully one or two are ready in 2 years.
