For whatever reason, The Russians have stolen the thunder of everyone else as the presumptive top pics after Celebrini.
Remember all the guys picked between Matthews and Tkachuk who can’t hold Matt’s jock strap?
Laine, Dubois, Puljujarvi, and Juolevi?
Scouts get it wrong all the time.
Erik Karlsson himself was a 15th overall pick, and I’ll tell you a secret - the 2008 draft doesn’t have 14 players better than Erik Karlsson in it.

Parekh is the guy that I want them to pick. The Flames have not had an elite offensive dman since Housley. I would like them to have one again and I think offence from the backend is key for success in the modern NHL.
