Personally I think the Canucks are ranked too high. I didn't think they had that great of a draft overall, especially after the first two picks. I would say Winnipeg, Montreal, Edmonton and CBJ all had better drafts and should make up the top 5. Calgary should be a couple of spots higher in my opinion (around 7/8) but that could also just be my biased opinion.
Of course these are so hard to predict so soon. Only time will tell I guess.

Thanks GIWI.
Believe me, it did internally trouble me to have the 'Nucks that high as impartial as I try to remain.
Beyond Horvat (in the rankings, it was about the players drafted, not trades made) and Shinkaruk I liked Cole Cassels, Jordan Subban (where they were able to land him). Late rounder Miles Liberati has very nice potential and my OHL colleagues tells me he's a breakout candidate next yr. 5th round Swedish blueliner Anton Cederholm also can play - more of a defensive dman.

Can't wait for Flames development camp!
