Sobieit Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 What if you were in charge of scouting and drafting for the Flames from the 2000 NHL entry draft until now, what would your roster look like?? Rules: Pick a player you would have selected with the 1st round pick from each draft year starting with the 2000 NHL draft. The player must have been drafted lower then the position the Flames own (Ex. In 2007 they owned the 24 overall, can only select the original pick (Backlund) or lower) Must pick 4 LW, 4 C, 4 RW, 3 RD, 3 LD and 2 goalies (Players must play their position, cannot have a team of all centers) For the years the Flames didn't have a pick assume they did: 2018 select a player 12 or lower 2015 select a player 15 or lower 2010 select a player 13 or lower Players must still be active Would be interesting to see what kind of teams everyone comes up with! Would this team contend for the cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbreaker Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 This is a fun project. I'm not sure you'd fit that roster under the salary cap, though. Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I'll try to do mine a little bit different 2019- too early to tell, I will stick with Pelletier 2018- Noah Dobson would have been the pick if it wasn't traded 2017- I would still go with Valimaki 2016- Still Tkachuk 2015- I wanted Konecny before the pick was moved 2014- I'll mix it up, Brayden Point 2013- Still Monahan 2012- Connor Hellebuyck 2011- Gaudreau 2010- Flames should have picked 13th, I would go Tarasenko although that regime wouldn't have went Russian lol 2009- Mike Hoffman 2008- Roman Josi 2007- Jamie Benn 2006- Jeff Petry 2005- Kris Letang 2004- David Krejci 2003- Patrice Bergeron 2002- Duncan Keith 2001- Craig Anderson 2000- Justin Williams My lineup Benn-Bergeron-Tarasenko Gaudreau-Point-Hoffman Tkachuk-Monahan-Konecny Pelletier-Krejci-Williams Josi-Letang Keith-Petry Valimaki-Dobson Hellebuyck Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sak22 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Question. If you are including the picks that were traded away in player deals would we be able to set to the Flames original draft spots in years they traded down? Examples, Backlund and Chucko were trade downs and '08 they traded their first for Cammy and re-acquired a later pick for Tanguay, were originally supposed to pick #17.

cross16 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I took maybe a slightly different approach. I tried to build a roster i could win a cup with so I was looking for certain roles and fits. i wanted the LS/RS balance on D so certain players, like Kuchervo, who are stars didn't make it based on roles. Here goes: 2000 - Justin Williams ( basically your only option) 2001- Craig Anderson. (not a lot of options but i like the idea of him as a backup plus that veteran who needs a ring) 2002- Duncan Keith - Fairly self explanatory i think 2003- Patrice Bergeron - Allows me to keep the best line in hockey and one of the games best 2 way centers 2004 - Goligoski. Not a lot of strong options, but he fit one of my last needs. As i said i build this team a certain way. 2005 - Letang one of the best RS dmen in the game when healthy 2006- Marchand. Probably one of the best LWs in the game. 2007 - I stuck with Backlund. For the role I wanted (3rd line center) he is one of the tops in the game for me. 2008- John Carlson. Was close btween him and Josi but the RS was more of a need for me. 2009 - ROR - Strong two way center and I realy like my 2nd line now. 2010 - Mark Stone. One of the best RWs in the game. 2011 - John Gibson. Not having Kucherov may be a surprise but again i was trying to build a more complete team. I also think Gibson is one of the best goalie in the league just stuck behind a bad team. 2012 - Slavin - one of the most underrated Dmen in the game for me. Two way stud. 2013 - Anthony Mantha - Monahan was a great pick but i'm deep in center. Mantha fits the role I was looking for 2014- David Pastrnak - one of the best RWers in the game and allows me to run the best line in hockey out there. 2015 - Kyle Connor - this is partly role based, but I also think Connor is one of the top play makers. 2016 - Tkachuk - Self Explanatory. one of my favorite players in the game but he also fits the role. Plus I get to pair him with Backlund. 2017 - Robert Thomas, I was close on Valimaki but I love Robert Thomas. i also needed the role. 2018 - Joel Farabee - Totally role based. I needed a LW. 2019 - I'm fine stick with Pelltier. Too early for me to get passionate about someone else. Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak Kyle Connor - ROR - Stone Tkachuk - Backlund - Anthony Mantha Joel Farabee - Robert Thomas - Williams Slavin - Carlsson Keith - Letang Goligoski - Pesce Gibson Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this team contend for the cup? I have a lot of time on my hands... I love this challenge, but wanted something more difficult. If you're up for it, give this a try, go back to every Flames pick from 2000-2019 and you build a roster out of players selected within 5 spots of a Flames pick. Traded picks aren't eligible to be used, so no 1st in 2015 for example. I want to do this because it's easy for the untrained eye to say the Flames should have taken Pasta over Bennett, however Pasta wasn't even in the conversation with that pick, a 5 pick range seems to be fair regarding who they could have taken Here's my shot at it. 2016- Tkachuk (6th) 2014- Nylander(went 8th) 2013- Monahan(6th), Theodore(went 26th) 2012- Gostisbehere(went 78th), 2011- JT Miller(went 15th), Kucherov(went 58th), Gaudreau(104) 2010- Grubauer(went 113th) 2009- Palmieri(went 26th) 2008- Carlson(went 27th), Stepan (went 51st), Henrique(went 82nd), Brodie (114th) 2007- Perron(went 26th) 2006- Foligno(went 28th) 2005- Quick(went 72nd) 2004- Green(went 29th) 2003- Carter(went 11th), Byfuglien (went 245th) Gaudreau-Monahan-Kucherov Tkachuk-Carter-Nylander Perron-Henrique-Palmieri Foligno-Stepan-Miller Theodore-Carlson Brodie-Byfuglien Gostisbehere-Green Quick Grubauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
