The Flames will be picking 5th or 6th, it appears.

Is Nylander still ranked in that range or has he fallen?

Who is the top ranked RW?

He is falling in at least a couple rankings. Has played for like 5 different teams this year and didn't make Sweden's WJC team. Sounds like he is bad defensively and hasn't been settled in one place long enough to get his offence going

Brayden Point with a six point night last night, I would be shocked if Burke took a chance on the kid, but a guy can hope that Burke looks at him in the third round, maybe Point will hit his growth spurt this spring.

He actually dropped major early on and then rose up again. I agree on the rest and I hope we stay away. I'm sure he won't be our selection.

Ritchie would probably be the highest ranked RW (besides Nylander who is apparently playing all forward positions this season). I know he is listed as LW but he played RW before coming to major junior and only plays LW primarily because that is where the team needs him to be.

Impression I get is his hockey IQ might not be high as those who are in the same range.

edit: also interested to see how much of his listed 218lbs is body fat... his face is kind of chubby looking (maybe just looks that way)

I don't know what it is about him, but Ritchie seems like he's the leading candidate of the top 10 to be a bust.

probably the lack of hockey IQ, at least that's the impression I get.

Yeah it's likely that. The whole package looks Mark McNeill like (better than that, but not a huge amount). I'm not really fussed on any of him Perlini or Virtanen.

If we're picking past the point where we can get Draisaitl Dal Colle or Bennett, I might prefer us maybe dropping a couple spots and taking Fleury.

We'll for sure be picking between 3-5. Really doubt any lower than that, unless they go on some ridiculous streak.

I wouldn't worry about us missing out on the top group.

For the draft experts on here how does Draisaitl compare to Reinhart/Bennett?

In a nutshell, he's bigger and stronger, hockey sense is good but not great like Reinhart/Bennett, skating needs work.

Draisaitl is probably the most difficult to peg of the top 5. At times he looks similar to Kopitar, other times he's just there. Because of the inconsistency, he'd be the last of the 5 I'd take. Still a good player though.

Draisaitl reminds me of Pavel Brendl. I do not want him

always the chance that we drop a spot in the lottery. 75.8% chance that we will stay in top 5 based on last years lotto odds (if we finish 5th).

I don't think those are lottery odds... Believe those are the odds on where the Isles finish.
