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

[Johnny Hoxville]

Kyle Connor is the best skater in the draft imo and would be doing cartwheels if we selected him

I'd love Connor as well, he's likely gone in the top 10 though.

 

[Anglesmith]

I'm never an expert on the prospects, because I don't watch really any hockey outside the NHL and major international tournaments. I'm really excited for the draft, however, because I think it's going to be exciting as hell. Very unpredictable, and extremely high chance of big moves being made league-wide. Also it's always exciting to see new players added to the organization, regardless of how much I knew about them before.

 

[Buchanan*]

Best part of the draft is the unsuspecting nature of the risers and the fallers. Can't wait!

And welcome to the board.

 

[Calculon]

Still hoping the Flames can trade up to 11 and one of Werenski, Crouse, Connor or Zacha are still there.

I don't see the Zacha hype?

Also is Crouse even better than Nick Ritchie was last year?

Ty AS! Had to register before the draft, been reading religiously since about 2011

So excited. Hope Brad pulls off a steal of a trade or something.

 

[St Wardo]

chabot pls

 

[Taranis]

Draft day!

+1 for Chabot.

 

[Lunatik]

A d-man who struggles to make simple plays in his own zone should be on our 'do not draft' list imo.

I can never trust a man with a Nelly avatar.

 

[Volica]

Waiting for my flight in Regina currently. I'll be in Florida just after noon. Very exciting stuff.

Can't wait to get down there to take it all in first hand.

[Unkki]

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.

Draft McDavid.

Haha I love it. Although I'd personally be totally fine with stopping at Josi.

I'm also confused by the interest in Talbot. I'm sure Hiller would fetch a 2nd from SJ though.

He makes some sense to me. He's the right age for the Flames, and it gives them two younger goalies in him and Ortio, who can be the main tandem for the Flames until Gillies is ready.

 

[Demetric]

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

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.
