Official 2015 Calgary Flames Draft Thread: 15th overall

[tyflames]

Have to make it to the conference finals to get bumped up.

Which we will obviously.

 

[Unkki]

It was a good game, the Fins have two stud forwards, I was surprised to see there not draft eligible until 2016!

Yup, Puljujärvi and Laine will be big in future.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Jeez, that's quite the jump.. 15-27 if we make it past Anaheim/Winnipeg.

So do we tank for a better pick?

 

[Taranis]

If we beat Anaheim no reason we can't win it all tbh.

 

[Anglesmith]

If we beat Anaheim no reason we can't win it all tbh.

I agree. But that's a big if.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Agreed, Anaheim is the only team that actually scares me. The rest all winnable teams/games.

 

[MonyontheMoney]

Has anyone watched Sweden closely? Seems to me that they would have a good backend as well.

 

[Sparky93]

I'm more concerned about the winner of the Blues/Wild series than I am about the Ducks. We don't have good luck against either of them.

 

[Sparky93]

Got my fingers crossed for Timo Meier at the draft. All the tools, size, defensively aware and a competitor.

From one Swiss to another .

 

[Bouma Fett*]

Whoops wrong thread lol. I must admit I know nothing beyond the first five projected players. Hope we get a decent RW prospect though

 

[Johnny GODreau]

If Jeremy Bracco is closer to 5'11 than 5'9 do you pick him in the 2nd round?

 

[SmellOfVictory]

If he's available where the Flames pick, I'd say he's a good choice as a second round pick regardless of where he is on the scale between 5'9 and 5'11.

With Feaster around I'd expect him to pick him. But with Burkie overseeing I don't think we'll see to many guys under 6'0. But I'd love to be wrong.

if bracco is really 5'11" then he isnt available anywhere near the 2nd round

 

[Johnny GODreau]

That'd might be true. But a lot of teams still draft for size.

and with the elimination of the Jets

I would pick him regardless what his size is. If he is available with one of our 2nds, that's a huge steal.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I keep going back and forth on Kylington, he obviously has tremendous upside, but a higher bust factor to. Trust the scouts I guess..

I wouldn't be opposed to drafting him with our 1st if we miraculously make it past Anaheim. If he is available at 27-30, I'd take the risk.

 

[Taranis]

I'm going from thinking a late 1st on Kylington to skipping altogether. Id rather take a defensemen like Meloche or Carlo or one of the other Swedish defensmen that late.

 

[East Coast Icestyle]

Any chance of taking Colin White? I'm pretty high on him, strong RW that can play a little C (or was it the other way around?) Has shown he can score, but is physical as well. Fits Burkie's mold, and he's American.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Any good 2-way defenders that have good size available in the second round?

I think the Flames take BPA in the first round, then take one RW, one D, and possibly a goalie in the second. Whobknoss though!

Parker Wotherspoon fits your description!
