We need a big win from the Leaf's tonight so that we can have those 2 really close picks giving us a better RISK vs REWARD pick.
0-1% chance
Misa
Frondell
Desnoyers
1-5% chance
Hagens
Martin
Martone
guys I could see them moving up for if they slide out of say the top 10
OBrien
Cootes
McQueen* - Injury risk has definitely been up for discussion
Guys they've been keeping a real eye on and likely are probably high on their current list given their picks as they stand today:
Reschny
Kindel
Ryabkin* - Gridin 2.0 for Calgary - I know they've got some scouts who are very high on this guy even with all the question marks.
Nesbit* - I've heard that some teams have this guy as their top pick. While his skill set isn't that top line offence, lots see this guy as having all the tools to be a good 2/3 center for a long time. Less Risk higher reward type pick.
McKinney* - While likely not taken with our first pick, I'd watch for Calgary to be in on this guy with the 2nd pick depending on how things shake out.

Thanks for the insights. Questions / comments:
Is Cootes -> Braeden Cootes?
Also going just from your list:
1. O'Brien
2. McQueen
3. Ryabkin
4. McKinney
Would be my order. The other guys look like they'll be replaceable wings / or have to convert to 3rd/4th line roles, which, any NHLer picked in the draft has value, but Calgary is short on top end young talent.
