- Seattle taking Catton
Basically those are the 5 picks that had to fall Calgary's way for Zayne to drop.
In my view a re-draft looks like this:
1. SJ: Celebrini
2. Chicago: Demidov
3. Anaheim: Sennecke (loaded on D, they still take the F)
4. CBJ: Buium
5. Montreal: Parekh
6. Utah: Levshunov
7. Ottawa: Iginla
8. Seattle: Dickinson
9. Calgary: Catton

This feels like the Tkachuk draft. Sennecke threw the draft board off, and Ottawa taking Yak.
Calgary had a 3 way trade worked out to jump up to #3 and take Tkachuk but at the draft floor it came out that CBJ was taking Dubois and threw the draft board off, and Vancouver taking Julovi.
I think Calgary looked into trading up in this draft, and you have wonder if it was for Zayne.
