In the 1/200 scenario in which the Flames win the draft lottery, I assume Misa, Schaefer and probably Hagens are gone. The players I’d want most are Anton Frondell or Jake O’Brien. Both players are centres and quite young for their draft year. Frondell is beginning of May. European numbers are harder to understand, but I understand his production is impressive per Byron Bader. Jake O’Brien is even younger, mid-June, very young for his draft class. He has an NHLe of 39.3, which is the 2nd highest I’ve seen in this draft class, behind only Misa.
