#3 OA McTavish at D+4
#5 OA Gauthier at D+3
#10 OA Mintyukov at D+3
#2 OA Carlsson at D+2
#3 OA Sennecke at D+1

If the Flames land top-five picks in each of the next two drafts, in 27/28 one will be D+1 and the other will be D+0.
I would tend to agree with you that 27/28 is a little earlier but the Flames in 27/38 will have (not counting Wolf who is a bit of a game changer) will have the following who already look like they have top player potential

#13 OA Coronato - D+6
#9 OA Parekh - D+3
Gridin - D+3
Plus the future picks they get.
