If draft were held today, Utah would be picking 11OA & Cgy 19OA despite only 3pts difference in standings.

Lots can happen in last 20GP
CGY only 2 points from 11th and 4 points from being in top 10. With an extremely difficult March schedule going to come right down to the wire I think.

I still feel CGY will be in the top 10 by seasons end. Let’s hope FLA doesn’t win the division!
 
With Boston and the Islanders having been sellers at the deadline, it is starting to look pretty good for us to draft twice between 11 and 18 this year, while enjoying a playoff chase for our favorite team. The odds of making the playoffs for Calgary and Montreal are below 30%, so, we are likely looking at two top 15 picks. Brady Martin, welcome to Montreal.

Cootes is my expectation if Brady Martin is gone.

Martin and Hensler would be solid. Maybe we'll slide up late first and grab Ryabkin and take that gamble.

Let’s hope for benefit of Habs fandom they end season w 11OA pick
 
I’ve hated Calgary since ‘89 and they’ve done little since to change my mind.

They will surely f*** us. I’m positive of this

The Flames won't likely finish in the bottom 9 as the 9th OA has 63 pts which at this point in the season it's going to be very difficult to gain 7 or 8 pts depending on RW. The Blues have gotten hot of late but we'll see if they keep that up, but for now it's one of Nucks, Flames, Blues, Yotes for that final spot. Even the Ducks could make it interesting if they win those games in hand.
 
Glad they didn’t sell. At least now we know they won’t crater (knock on wood). It’s gonna come down to the wire between them and Vancouver I think.

I’m happy with them giving us pick 14-18.

If we can walk away from round 1 with Mrtka (RHD) and Ryabkin (C) ill be happy.

That is extremely high risk/high reward.......would take some big kahoonas but I definitely don't hate it. I haven't done enough research yet to be confident in an endorsement but at surface level it is an admirable swing for the fences move. I could conversely see them going the opposite route with two of Martin/Hensler/Cootes/Zonnon as well in a safe character/depth mode.

My guess is they take a swing with one of the 1st rounders and go safe with the other.

I am on the O'Brien train right now with our first pick.
