And last but not least on my very cursory glance is Arthur Kaliyev. Looks like the Wahlstrom of this draft.

As a London Knights fan I want our own Connor, might be still around when we pick.

On the same note I would ask that if an article is behind a paywall not to post a link to it in a thread like this. I mean it seems wrong to say someone's rankings are out but you have to pay another site not associated with CP to read that content. Maybe their should be a dedicated thread for the Athletic articles.

Don't links to the Athletic articles just take you to a page that's covered by their signup info?

I clicked it and you can start to read but then you have to pay. Or at least make it known you have to pay to read the article as some of their articles are free. Seems wrong to post like the OP did and then when a CPer clicks it they find out it is pay to view. You can't really blame the poster who asked what the content is.

I believe that the quality of this site in due in large part to the fact that it conglomerates multiple sources of information in one location. Although I understand that it is frustrating for some that this information is behind a pay wall, it is still worthwhile to post because it contributes to the discourse of the site by directing people to this information thus enriching all of our understandings. This is especially true in the context of the draft, as I know that there are a few accounts that sponsor and advertise paid for prospect rankings. At worst it is a casual reminder that the Athletic is unrivalled in the world of sports journalism.

That being said, when I do post links in the future, I will indicate if they are behind a paywall so that I can save you a few finger movements.

If no move up to grab Peyton Krebs, I'd like to see the Flames choose Brett Leason (Calgary kid) if not, I'd also be very pleased with Nolan Foote.

Let's not pass up the best WHL'ers.

It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season and playoffs play out with our goaltending.

If the Flames get ousted due to poor goaltending, my bet is our 1st gets dealt for Quick, Dubnyk or even Crawford if he's healthy enough.

Mads Sogaard or Dustin Wolf would make me happy if we are drafting a goalie this year. Wolf is smallish at 6' but his numbers are crazy (1.77 goals against) and Sogaard is 6'7 and pretty mobile despite his size.

Those are the exact two goalies I’d like to pick up. Why is Wolf ranked so low? Is he really the 17Th best goalie in the draft?

I've seen Spencer Knight referred to as the best goalie prospect since Price. I haven't watched him myself personally

5'11 or 6' tall. That's far from prototype size in today's game, but then Parsons is only 6'1, so it appears our scouts are able to look past size as the only indicator of success.

And he will probably go second round, where we don't have a pick.

I kind of want Wolf to be drafted by the Coyotes.

I just think it is funny. A bunch of Coyotes with the Wolf in net.

That tomasino kid has really good press imo. High character type with a nice compliment of speed and skill. I think this draft will have some talent late in the first round. I think tomasino doesn't last to 31. I still think nolan foote has some appeal. Big, high character, skilled. Edge work and top end speed improving. I think the flames need to target fwds if they keep their first.

Brett Leason would be nice but I think he’s starting to drop on many draft lists. I’ve seen him show up as a 2nd rounder on a lot of recent lists. I think there will be better candidates for Calgary’s first round pick.

Sticking with over-agers, I like Samuel Fagemo from Sweden. He’s playing in Sweden and was over here for the WJC. I could see him still available for Calgary’s 3rd round pick.

Couldn’t they get the top 2?
