GDT: 2015 NHL Entry Draft [Flames pick Anderson @ 53, Kylington @ 60, 136, 166, 196]

[Tkachuk Norris]

I'm not happy about that . Still hoping we pick a d-man.


My hope is we trade Hiller to SJ for their 2nd, and sign Ramo to an extension.

The only guy I can see really being worth it at 15 is Zboril. Meier can put the puck in the net and he's big, exactly what we need. Still like trading down the best, but something tells me the Flames will pick Boeser.

The second round is chock full of D. I feel like we package 52 and 53 to move up. Then we can get two very good players at 33ish and 45.

I can never trust a man with a Nelly avatar.

It's more for the grills than for Nelly

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I would love Meier.

 

[GAMO1992]

Realistically, who do you guys see from the ranked top 10, falling down the most likely?

 

[FLAMES666]

the fan 960 mock draft has us taking Meier, but they were hesitant to make that pick

The mock draft on the Fan960 is exactly how I don't want the draft to pan out and it likely could. I would definitely trade down if the opportunity came up.

 

[Taranis]

Timo Meier or Rantanen, not that I don't like them but that everyone else is so good.

 

[AgeOfBennett]

Next move:

CGY -> OTT: 15th overall, 45th overall
OTT -> CGY: 18th overall, 21st overall

Senators get Konecny as they desperately want, we get two of Zboril, Merkley & Boeser.

E: Don't understand our interest in Talbot. It'd mean that Hiller gets traded.

Take out our 45th and put a third rounder instead but I wouldn't mind the deal if no one intriguing had fallen to 15th

I think Barzal will be the guy to slip a bit, Meier as well possibly.

 

[Taranis]

I think Barzal will be the guy to slip a bit, Meier as well possibly.

Thats the thing I like Barzal and the defensemen so I think one of the big forwards will drop.

 

[FLAMES666]

Is Meier @ 15 dropping?

 

[InfinityIggy]

Is Meier @ 15 dropping?

Most of the time I have seen him 8-13 so, maybe not much of a surprise if he is there at 15 but I have rarely seen him there in mocks.

 

[CraigsList]

Is Meier @ 15 dropping?

I see him in the 11-15 range, so not really for me.

 

[GAMO1992]

ah man, if Barzal just fell into our laps @ 15, I think Burliving would be running up to the podium to announce his selection.

 

[Buchanan*]

Could see the Flames taking Boeser at 15, Button ranked him at 9 and he also said the Flames showed interest in him.

 

[Taranis]

Barzal is an elite playmaking center, I find hes a little underrated atm for this draft.

If we got him, he'd be the perfect 2C behind Monahan... That, or he could be the RW while Bennett is center. Just depends on who is better at the position.

Shhh....don't tell anyone else that

Edmonton - McDavid
Buffalo - Eichel
Arizona - Strome (Apparently they covet the rangy centerman)

Carolina - Marner
NJ - Barzal
Philly - Provorov
CBJ - Werenski
SJ - Connor
Colorado -Crouse (They're desperate for larger forwards)
Florida - Rantanen
Dallas - Konecny (Why not)
Boston - Svechnikov
LA - Meier
Calgary - Choice between Zacha, Merkley, Zboril, Chabot ....

 

[GAMO1992]

thats not a bad mock draft and could be how the actual thing unfolds.

sadly

 

[MC Ride]

At least one of Crouse or Barzal have to fall to us right guys? Right?
