I could definitely see it not being just a top 10... somebody in the top ten who really needs a dman and is flush with forwards jumping to grab Mrtka, Smith or even Aitcheson, or McQueen sliding based on injury concerns/small sample size this year. I feel like there will be a ledge there somewhere around 11-14 though for sure. But I've never seen a draft go according to consensus for that long and I wouldn't expect it to start this year in a bit of a wildcard draft. Wheeler has the Sabres drafting Mrtka for example, and Morreale has them drafting Aicheson.

I'd love for the Flames to be able to grab an extra pick for Rasmus between 9-16. I get that we need a center but it would be great to be able to use 18 on a winger who can drive offence as well, I look at Cullen Potter and feel like he's a player who has more game breaking skating and puckhandling than any of the second tier of centers but it would be tough for the Flames to pick him even if he's there at 18 when the organization has done such a poor job amassing centers
