A couple of cool goals by the Finns last night. Laine scoring close to the net and Puljujärvi scoring from farther away for a change. Too lazy to check but I wonder if Puljujärvi is getting more quality shots in lately. Would be good to see.
Interesting to see how their progress continues once the playoffs start. Both play for strong teams.

I'll add tonight's goals since they both scored again. Puljujärvi with a couple, one of them again with a straight shot which I'm always looking for, and Laine's game winner in 3-on-3 OT.

With the lack of RW beyond the top ten that have any size whatsoever, I would expect the Flames to take one of the Finns, Nylander or Gauthier with their first pick all of which would depend on where they are picking. I'd frankly be shocked if they took anything besides a RW with their first unless they're picking 9th and Chychrun is on the board or some similar craziness.

I think Mike McLeod needs to be added in as well.

Flames aren't going to force a RW, they'll take the best player available. Often wingers can switch sides as well so getting a top line winger is more important than getting specifically a RW.
I think you have to add Tkachuk, Chychrun, Dubois as additional likely picks for us as well.

We've released our February ranking for the 2016 NHL Draft, and have gone 100 prospects deep in it. Some subtle changes near the top and throughout the first round, so feel free to dig into that, as well as the balance, we we go well beyond the first round.

I really like the rankings. Your top 10 is fine for the Flames needs although I'd drop Keller because as we're building around little Johnny in the Pacific and this top 10 has many big, skilled forwards available, we're not taking a little one top 10.
Not sure why folks are putting Puljujarvi lower than Laine other than the shot. Puljujarvi is better in every other department. If the Flames pick #3 and get Puljujarvi I'll be over the moon.

Does he have a better shot? That's one of the reasons why a lot of people want Laine I think. Laine completes what the Flames need in a hard shot that players can set him up for. Can be utilized similar to Ovechkin/Stamkos etc.

Yeah we need a guy like Laine. If he falls to us/we fall more we need to take him over Puljujarvi.
