I really hope we get Lindstrom (and could live with Catton)
Or, I hope we get Silayev, but would be happy with Parekh or Buium.
The Iginla story is great, but it isn't what the Flames need. Just my opinion.

I mostly agree with you here, and a D seems like the way to go for the Flames in this draft. I really hope we get to snag the next Makar/Heiskanen and build around him. That's why I personally hope we stay away from Silayev, because I think we will pass up on a bigger game changer due to his size. I also don't see any of the forwards outside of the top 2 turning into a top 10-15 player in their position.
My preference:
1. Buium
2. Dickinson
3. Parekh
