Tij has worked himself from what I'd call Tier 4 of the draft forwards to tier 3. Eiserman and Lindstrom have seemed to drop out of Tier 2 and into Tier 3.
Tier 1 - Celebrini
Tier 2 - Demidov
Tier 3 - Lindstrom, Eiserman, Catton, Iginla.
Tier 4 - Helenius, Greentree, Connelly, Hage. Maybe 1 or 2 more.
For defence, the top 10 draft picks are comprised of,
Tier 1 - Levshunov, Parekh
Tier 2 - Buium, Dickinson
Tier 3 - Silayev, Yakemchuk
If the Flames pick #1, it's Celebrini.
If the Flames pick #2, it's Demidov, Levshunov, or Parekh.
If the Flames pick #9, it's a Tier 3 forward or Tier 2 D. My selfish pick is Iginla followed by Buium who I don't think will be there.
