Those are the three that would be "off the board" type picks that I could see the Flames having interest in.

I might even add Yakemchuk, as good as he is, no one at all has him in the top 10. those three seem to be in a next tier... but of course the flames scouts will have way more knowledge than me on it.
The more I read reports on how good Helenius is, and with Eiserman falling I'm wondering if the Flames get bumped down to the 10 slot if they're left picking between Eiserman, Iginla and Silayev. Helenius' pace of play and raw speed just works in today's NHL. I know people are scarred on the Finnish league after how badly poolparty did after putting up big numbers there but Helenius has a completely different game, if he can stick at centre what a valuable piece for your club he could be for a decade.
I'd be really excited to see the flames get him or obviously any of the other top 5 forwards, or the big 4 non-Silayev dmen. And drafting Tij would be a fun ride too.
