Scott Wheeler from the Athletic just released a mock of the first round, has the Flames picking Reschny and Kindel. One of the better case scenarios for the Flames in my opinion.
Quote:
18. Calgary Flames (via New Jersey Devils): Cole Reschny, C, Victoria Royals
The belief seems to be that the Flames, who’ve drafted a ton of defensemen and wingers in recent years, are going to be after a center here. Reschny’s combination of skill, smarts and two-way drive makes him a natural fit. They haven’t shied away from taking 5-foot-10/11 players either. This is probably the start of the range (plus or minus a couple) where the much bigger Jack Nesbitt could start to go, too.

22. Calgary Flames (via Florida Panthers): Benjamin Kindel, C, Calgary Hitmen
The Flames double down on skilled, smart centers and draft from within … their own organization. Reschny and Kindel would immediately give the Flames a potential 2C of the future, and Kindel played his 16-year-old season on the wing and could always move back.
