That would be Kylington. Assuming, of course, that he reaches his potential.

Hard not to cheer for the kid when you read stuff like that. Hope he has a nice career.

The more I read about this kid, the more it seems like he fits the Flames needs perfectly!

Size, speed, skill, leadership, character and finish. Wouldn't be disappointed to see us trade down and grab him at all.

If you get a player who works hard enough at his studies to get a 3.6 GPA while playing hockey, you've found yourself a very hard worker

I wouldn't be surprised if he's the guy the Flames pick at 15 providing someone like Barzal doesn't slip to them. He's a right shooting goal scorer which is an organizational need.

Jeff Marek seems to think he's what the Flames want.
Merkley's skating reminds me of Kane and Gaudreau:

Trade down? You'd have to feel pretty certain that he would still be available in whatever spot you trade down to. Risky, as Boeser also thinks he had a great interview with Winnipeg, a couple spots behind us (and I think there's a fit there--as I evidenced by my selection of Boeser for the Jets in the CP mock draft!).

I think if management feels he's our guy, he might be taken at 15.

Yup Barzal or Boeser is my guess for the Flames. I highly doubt Barzal get's by L.A. though - freakin LA!

Totally agree. Calgary is a nice fit. Might not be taken with our 15th either.

Boeser looks like a great fit. Barzal would be a home run but I doubt he is available at 15.

There will be a bunch of really good players for the Flames to choose from regardless of what happens in the 1st 14 picks. Tough not to get excited.

If Barzal or Connor fall to LA i'll be annoyed. Really hoping LA settles for Zacha or Konecny.

It's funny how things change day to day this close to the draft.

Crouse, Barzal, Meier, Connor, Konecny, Merkley, Svechnikov, and now Boeser are all names that have popped up that we have realistically hoped drop to the Flames...and that doesn't even include all the talk of needing a d-man that happened earlier in this thread.

Good draft, lots of quality outside the stars at the top.

Yup and that's why people shouldn't get tunnel vision about one prospect or another. That's setting yourself up for disappointment.

Yup. Would love to add another pick in the 20-25 range.

So many good potential picks. So long as it isn't a goalie, I can't see how I would be disappointed. Boeser, Konecny, Merkley are not my top choices, but they are growing on me.

Exactly. There are so many good players I doubt I will be disappointed unless they select someone that hasn't really been discussed but I don't see how that is possible really. There are players I'd prefer but I doubt I will be disappointed since we will get a good player.
