I can't say I know what centre the Flames will draft next June, but I can say they'll probably try to turn him into a winger anyway

I just meant about the misunderstanding, personally I don't know shit about anyone except Hagens and with wat Bobby Mac has said about Hagens, I'm not as convinced we'll get a superstar in this draft if we pick top 5. Excellent, yeah, but not a superstar.
Is this like that saying...
You can cure cancer, but f*** 1 sheep and you'll always be known as the sheep f***er.
Under this regime, only 1 center has been moved to the wing and he came up when we didn't need any centers and completely ignoring that tehy've moved Pospisil back to center after not plying it as a pro. Let's stop this overreaction before it begins. Also, every NHL team moves centers to the wing a large number of NHL wingers were centermen when they were drafted and in the minors.
2 months later and I still think its a top 7. Pretty much every list has the same guys at the top, just in different order.
I think Misa has climbed up a bit, having a great start and may even battle Hagens for #1. Everyone loves Martone too, and ofcourse McQueen and Frondell are Centers we'd drool over too. Ryabkin seems to have dropped a couple spots, and Schaeffer for the team not looking for a C.

Holy Snot - Misa is currently at a 2 ppg - 13 games, 17 G + 9A = 26 points.
There's your Center Conroy! Embrace the tank!
He has to be right there with Hagens, Martone too. It'll be an interesting year to see who can stay at the top.

This draft year's looking pretty strong so our 2nd pick should be good too. Over in the WHL there's a few guys flirting with 2 PPG; Nathan Behm, Cameron Schmidt, and Carter Bear. Luke Mistelbacher too but he's an overager. Eklund is playing well in Sweden, and Moore is doing well in the National Development Program rn
By 2nd pick - did you mean the NJ 1st rounder? There is a chance that is our 1st pick...
I had not heard of Nathan Behm, impressive jump in production & size, but I don't think he's on many 1st rnd lists. Even Schmidt many say will not be a 1st rnder - too small like Benak/Mooney.
Eklund & Moore are projected to land 10-20 though, which could be where that pick ends up.
I'd like to grab Ravensberger to keep the goalie hopes strong.
It’s refreshing to see an actual battle for 1st overall again. Other than 2022 you have to go all the way back to 2017 for the last time it was realistically up in the air midseason. Be even crazier considering when all is said and done, despite this being the year of the centre, I think Martone’s name could end up being the first off the board.

Strong top 6 (Hagens, Martone, Misa, Frondell, Schaefer, McQueen). Then 5-6 decent prospects. Then not much else. Pretty bad in the second half of the first round imo

On a high note, if we can't get the first 10, then we won't be picking until the end of the draft anyway.

If it's not top 5 (because winning mandates), I'm OK with 6OA. We've historically done very well with 6OA.
And if we flip some picks around, a few 6th round picks to swing for the fences will also be good (also historically done well with 6th round picks).
You have not been paying attention if you think it’s still cut and dry. As of now he’s still the betting favorite, but Martone and Misa are embarrassing the CHL currently.

The mid-round gems usually become more apparent as the year rolls on. I suspect there will be a solid group in the top 20.

I guess we'll stink for a chance at another JarJar Binks!
We prob won't be bad enough to be laggin for Hagens.
At this point we will probably need lottery luck for any of the 3, they’re currently looking like a set 3 unless one of their play drops off or a bad team really wants a defenseman. The bottom feeders of the league have to really been flexing their lack of muscle to start the year.I guess we'll stink for a chance at another JarJar Binks!

Disappointed. I was assuming you meant we went far in the playoffs and won it all and we all cash out insane sports bets tickets.

Just wanted to stop by and speak to you about keeping the integrity of the game. Calgary is about a .500 team, been some talk they will throw their season to keep top 10 pick. If you do this, it's not how hockey is played.
