Flames 2013 Draft Discussion

[PlayfulGenius]

I love every Flames pick within a few minutes of it being made...Baertschi took several minutes...I don't recall whom I wanted the Flames to pick...so glad they picked Sven, though.

I remember BUF picked the guy I wanted...I think he was a Finn...anyway, the draft is always fun and will be much more so this season with the 3 early picks.

EDIT - it was Joel Armia, and Sven looks much better thus far

I wanted Armia too, but I warmed up to Sven pretty quick and am glad we took him obviously. I'm still not thrilled with Jankowski.

Sean Monahan Please!!!!!

Beauty play shorthanded by Monahan in this video.

[squirtle]

I'm bored so thought i'd make this before I sleep lol.

6th Pick - Sean Monohan

Flames Trade 22nd Pick + Cammy (2mil retained) + 4th to Pheonix for #12 pick
Flames Trade Michael Backlund + 3rd to Columbus for #14 pick

12th Pick - Domi
14th Pick - Mantha
28th Pick - Fucale


Flames Future Roster:

Baertschi - Monahan - Domi --> Big centre, dynamic skilled wingers
Gaudreau - Mantha - Jones --> Skilled line, with size to make space for dynamic Gaudreau
Glencross - Jankowski - Hudler --> Big line with skill and mentorship for Jankowski
Aliu - Knight - Ferland --> Big + kick ass fourth line

Brodie - Gio
Wideman - Cundari
O'Brien - Wotherspoon

Ramo
Fucale

For those who don't like this because we won't be picking after the first round until the 5th..we are talking about four first round picks.

That kid has head screwed on right. It is so refreshing to read comments like this. He knows what he wants and is willing to work for it. 18, almost 6'4 and over 190 pounds, he is looking better and better. 2015-16 should be a very exciting year for the Calgary Flames as Jankowski will likely be stepping up to join the three guys we select this year to improve the team.

I'm loving this kid's development path.

[Commandant]

#73 on the draft board is a fast rising goalie out of the QMJHL

Just imagine when Jankowski is 6-4 235. If his skills develop as they have been, we could have a good 1st/2nd line center on our hands.

By the sounds of that article, Nemisz won't be re-signed. I thought he would be for some reason.

Ryan Rishaug ‏@TSNRyanRishaug now Feaster says they would consider it a factor if the player they wanted at six wasn’t going to come over right away.

semi-OT, Flames had Galchenyuk #1 last year

Where did you see he was almost 6'4”?

So much for Lindholm being drafted at 6

For pete's sake, would the Flames brass make their mind up on this? We've heard Feaster and Weisbrod both make contradictory statements about the need for the prospect drafted at 6 to play right away.

[Muffins]

All Feaster is saying is it's a factor. I don't think they would skip over a guy like Barkov if he's gonna stay in Europe next year.
It could however help them decide between Lindholm and Monahan if they have the option of both (assuming they have them rated close to each other).
