As we get closer to the draft… I watch more and more mock drafts that have both Iginla and Lindstrom off the board before Calgary gets to pick. Too bad because those are my two favourite players in this draft class outside of Celebrini. Would love it if one of them somehow slid to Calgary at 9. Sounds like Celebrini and Levshunov are locked in at 1 and 2, respectively. And it sound like Montreal is taking a forward and their likely list goes Demidov>Lindstrom>Iginla. The best hope is for at least one of Anaheim or Columbus to select a defenceman (likely Buium, Silayev or Parekh). If that happens, I think Montreal will go with whoever is left between Lindstrom or Demidov. Giving a slight chance for Iginla to slip to 9th overall.
What I hope happens:
1. Celebrini
2. Levshunov
3. Buium
4. Lindstrom
5. Demidov
6. Silayev
7. Parekh
8. Catton
9. Iginla
What I think will happen:

9. Dickinson
