Each correct pick gets a point. Winner gets $250,000 for their team.
Here are the Flames selections:
1: New York Islanders - Nail Yakupov
The consensus #1 pick shouldn't give the Islanders any headaches.
2: Tampa Bay - Teuvo Teravainen
Home country favorite is an easy pick here.
3: New Jersey - Filip Forsberg
Jersey will take the upside at forward.
4: Pittsburgh - Ryan Murray
Best defenseman in a draft full of good ones.
5: Philadelphia - Alex Galchenyuk
The first American goes off the board.
6: New York Rangers - Matthew Dumba
The Rangers take who I think is the best NHL prospect in the draft.
7: Winnipeg - Morgan Reilly
So many defenseman in this draft who if they were a few inches taller would contending for the 1st overall pick.
8: Edmonton - Mikhail Grigorenko
Edmonton wants a forward. They'll probably trade down rather than take the Russian.
9: Pittsburgh - Hampus Lindholm
This Sedin Sister loving GM won't be afraid of the Swede.
10: Phoenix - Zemgus Girgensons
They may favor an OHL'er but there is a soft spot here for Girgensons.
11: San Jose - Sebastian Collberg
Another home country favorite?
12: Pittsburgh - Thomas Wilson
Wait, did someone say Lucic look-alike?
13: San Jose - Olli Maata
More Euros for the Euros.
14: Dallas - Jacob Trouba
Dallas will be happy that Trouba's stock is slipping for no good reason as the draft approaches.
15: Boston - Griffin Reinhart
Another faller from his rankings falls to Boston.
16: NYI - Scott Laughton
The Isles are astute. And the astute money is on Laughton to climb on draft day.
17: Montreal - Cody Ceci
Montreal will take the big body on D.
18: St. Louis - Radek Faska
He may not have 1st line upside - but he's right in the Blues wheelhouse.
19: Chicago - Brendan Gaunce
The Hawks need some forward prospects to come through and hope Gaunce has some upside.
20: Buffalo - Derek Pouliot
Smooth skating Dman will help Buffalo in a few years.
21: Tampa Bay - Matt Finn
He's a Finn in name only...
22: Tampa Bay - Henrik Samuelsson
HS strong playoffs help him jump the rankings
23: Winnipeg - Tomas Hertl
It's been a while since the Czechs pumped out prospects on a regular basis. They are starting to get back.
24: Ottawa - Phillip Di Giuseppe
Upside. Upside. Upside.
25: Florida - Slater KoekKoek
BrockBrock won't be afraid to take the injury prone Dman.
26: Anaheim - Brady Skjei
Always a solid drafter, Anaheim takes another good Yank.
27: New Jersey - Martin Frk
The Dvls take the Man with No Vowels.
28: Nashville - Andrei Vasilevski
Tim who?
29: LA/Winnipeg - Nicola Kerdiles
Late 1st is the clearing ground for American prospects playing below the CHL
30: LA/Winnipeg - Dalton Thrower
A little brash toughness will go long way

It's actually not out of the question for me to take a player that NHL Central thinks is not as good as Maatta. Thats just my opinion on him, I know some out there love him so I doubt he drops to 15 let alone 40 lol.
