Official Calgary Flames 2015 Draft Thread v.2: 15th overall

[AgeOfBennett]

On the last mock drafts NHL.com posted today one has Barzal at 12 and the other actually has him at 15.... could Barzal actually be falling ?

Blessing in disguise if that's the case.

Barzal I have always thought was going to slip a bit. Dunno that he would fall all the way to 15+ though.

Honestly outside of McEichel Provorov and Werenski he would probably be my next choice

I still think we need to trade one of our 2nds to Florida for 11th. They'll still be getting a good RW with our pick, and we get a better chance at a faller. I do not see Crouse/Barzal dropping from Dallas, LA and Boston's grasp.

Barzal at 15

Monahan and Bennett fell into our laps, maybe the trend continues .

Cant have enough size and speed H Smith is no gurantee either.

No Guarantee, but our organization just has a lot of solid bottom 6ers with decent size

Bouma
Ferland
Shore
Hathaway
Agostino
Colborne
Smith
Caroll
Wolf

If you look at that list, other than Smith in a less apparently deep class, only two players were selected in the top 2 rounds of the draft - Shore and Colborne - and no surprise, they're the two more naturally skilled players of the bunch. Most of these players are good - I like them - but they're essentially what later rounds are for - players who have question marks but still NHL potential.

Greenway would be a good pick at 83 or later. Maybe even 75. But I'm not willing to throw a 2nd at him. He's not even the best bigger player - Dergachyov looks better.
