A lot of those OHL players he has in the 2nd round (Vanacker, O’Reilly, Battaglia, Marrelli) are pretty good players. Flames could quite easily get a couple good prospects in the second round in addition to the first.

I would love for him to be right because the Flames can sprint to the podium and draft Lindstrom who is basically Eric Lindros lite. I find his rankings pretty far off from most of the other experts so I don't expect that to happen. I also look at his past rankings and Button tends to miss badly. No scout in their right mind is drafting Heselius who had a meh U18 and an invisible World's over Cayden Lindstrom.
