Lets assume we don't get the Oiler horseshoe and draft somewhere between 8-12, most people always say take the BPA and where this team will pick the BPA might just be a defenseman but IMO this team should not make their 1st pick a defenseman no matter what.
This flames team needs a highly skilled forward in the worst way, sometimes all that's needed is one skilled forward to make other forwards play better, Gaudreau did this and so did Iginla and even way back Fleury.
My top targets:
1) Berkly Catton, game changing skill with extreme high IQ, goal scoring,passing and great work ethic. 4th in WHL scoring as a 17/18 year old on a crap team is saying something.
2) Tij Iginla, hard to believe but he's better than his dad was in his draft year at just about everything and like his dad he's young going into the draft.
3) Cole Eiserman, best goal scorer in the draft, absolute lethal shot from the blueline in not seen in quite a while, very good skater but has warts in his game that needs to be addressed, also very young.
4) Terik Parascak, slick with the puck and fearless in front of the net, high IQ and good accurate shot, again very young.
Not at all sold on Cayden Lindstrom or Ivan Demidov.
Anyway just my humble opinion, feel free to post yours
