JTech780 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Cayden Lindstrom is the player I have my eye on for the range where we will be picking. Size, skating ability, skill, physical, oh and he plays center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Konsta Helenius is another guy I think would be great in the Flames range. He did not have a great WJC, which is an area of concern, but the Finns as a team had a horrible WJC. Helenius has high hockey IQ, good skill and is a good skater, not afraid to fight for the puck. Reminds me a bit of Lindholm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Lindstrom is really good. That Med Hat team is a ton of fun to watch. I think he could go anywhere from 2-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though there is going to be a lot of defensemen at the top end of the draft that bring size and skill to the table. Anton Silayev is 6’7” and is a great skater, he has been climbing the draft boards. It’s just hard to get a good read on the Russians, because nobody can go watch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Silayev would be a very good pick for the Flames. He is under contract through 25/26. That could deter some teams. I personally, think it shouldn’t, but that was the case last year with Michkov. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it's media spins, but he also seemed to be not thrilled where he was drafted, but possibly that he went lower than he felt though... I think being at the draft is key too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get d-man with Hedman upside, I would wait till 2026 to get him over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract wouldn't be an issue for me. I just look at Zary and Pelletier, different situations, but you're talking about three or four years from the time they were drafted until they became NHLers. Waiting two years for Silayev should be no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsnet had theirs yesterday Sportsnet's 2024 NHL Draft Prospect Rankings: January Edition Interesting to see how rankings change after #1 mainly how Eiserman is all over the place in rankings. Makes the debate more fun and the draft more interesting with less consensus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebrewcrew Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Major logjam in the standings. Right now, the Flames would be picking 9th. Buffalo at 6th, with one less point. Again, I like the Flames chances at landing a top ten selection. That would be significant, as they haven’t picked that early since 2016. Looks like Greer’s injury will cost him some time. Going back to Sunday, the Flames have lost three of their regular forwards, for various reasons. They weren’t massive contributors, but now they’re being replaced with unknowns. When they delete three key players at the TDL, the. I think you’re looking at a recipe for quite a few losses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greer looked like he could be done. Through no fault but their own, they lost a regular player in Ruzicka at a time they knew Dube was going to be gone. I don't really care if he was not meeting their expectations; he was at least one of the top players they have coming out of the AHL. There is no excuse for that. The GM knows that any trades he makes has to take into account current roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrob74 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Realistically, the best draft spot prior to the lottery would be the 6th overall spot. There's no way we can get a higher pick without a lotto win. It is just too many points to drop to get to anything lower in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 9 points up on Ottawa but they have 4 games in hand. 8 up on CBJ but they have one in hand. If we trade Hanifin and/or Tanev and Lindholm, we might see better play, LOL. No, I think that puts us in the re-tool range and would start lookin at Wolf to back up. TBH, it may be exactly the wrong time to start Wolf. Make the trades you need, decise if you are going young, then see if there is a need to start Wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all remember what happened with Michkov. Imho, Michkov would go #1 or #2 overall in a redraft right now. Silayev is going to drop, for all the reasons that Michkov dropped, PLUS the fact that he is a defenceman, which GMs and their short lifespans hate. Levshunov is insanely good. One or more teams will draft a defenceman this year who will be instrumental in hoisting one or more cups. Hopefully us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robrob74 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 We seem to be a team where making it to .500 is their Stanley cup. Anything above, we decide to play down to get back and anything below, we fight for it. Team goals! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420since1974 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Calgary is currently in 24th place after 49 games played. I think that Chicago, San Jose, Anaheim, Ottawa, and Columbus probably have the bottom 5 spots locked up. The Flames might be able to drop below Minnesota, Montreal, and Buffalo and end up with the #6 OA draft pick, which would give them the following lotto odds: #1 = 7.5% #2 + 7.7% #3 = 0.2% #4 = 0 #5 = 0 #6 = 34.1% #7 = 41.4% #8 = 9.1% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
