It's recited so often that it became a fake truth. Like most things going on these days. lol The NHL should investigate ARI for throwing that 3rd period on purpose!

Thebrewcrew Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Down to 9th for now. I’m not too worried, other than if 8th wins the lottery right now. Picking 8th, there are probably five players you can make a case for. At 9th, there are probably four. Not the end of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conundrumed Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 I'm kind of jacked as we get into our 2nd and 3rd rd picks. We're going to be getting some good potentials I think. That Miettinen kid with Everett looks like lots of potential. Kleber, Letourneau, Mustard, o'Reilly, Humphreys, Freij...there's a lot going on.

I would like Letourneau in the 2nd. The VAN first….. eeek They seemed to target size last year, which makes me wonder about Adam Jecho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conundrumed Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 I wouldn't take Letourneau before the Dallas 2nd personally. edit I don't know what Prep schools are like there, but here, the teams I've watched, the play is so systems over-the-top that it's almost robotic. They have close-game successes against the mid-tier midget teams here. But put them against the top Midget teams here, Detroit or Minnesota, and they'd get absolutely eaten alive. So I view their entire league as top Midget AA teams, or a middling to bottom AAA team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handled the transition pretty well. Playing on a bad team too. I would hope that Edmonton plays him more in the middle next year. Personally, I wouldn’t take him until that Stars pick. I think you’re talking about a bottom six forward. 15ish goals. Maybe pops for 20 and 40pts, Joel Armia type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and I edited above for my fear of Letourneau. Mainly, competition level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfire11 Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 The movie is being scripted by the day. My prediction as the 2024 feel good story line. The Flames will have Jerome select TJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conundrumed Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 How does everyone feel about Cayden Lindstrom as far as the back issues go? Do you consider them chronic? Between Beck, Honzek, Poirier (freak thing, I know), Pelletier and Kerins I am so done with prospects missing extremely important development months. The setbacks have added up to the point where I hope to avoid Lindstrom. Maybe even Kiviharju and Jiricek also. Am I wrong due to the frustration? We can't afford unyielding development setbacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only slightly. My bigger concern would be why are we targeting someone in a elite draft area who has not had elite production really at any level. Not saying he is not a good prospect, he is but I think his size has inflated his draft stock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I concur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there was a wrist injury with Lindstrom too. I think he’s long gone before Calgary picks. Big centre, skates well, he’s also a pain to play against. Checks all the boxes. He would fill a. Major need, but I think CBJ or MTL will take him before Calgary even has a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No don't do it😄 I think the Kraken are candidates to take a defenceman In their three drafts they've taken two centres and a winger with their 1st's. I think that would be annoying from a Flames perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosn111 Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 After tonight, Flames now will enter the draft lottery in 8-10 spot. Can only move up or down 1 spot with 2 games remaining. So top 10 pick unless a team outside of top 10 wins the lotto. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrob74 Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Is it RW or ROW that determines position? If we tie NJ and do they have the tie breaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, could move down 1-2 spots depending on the lottery, or move up to 1oa or 2oa... Tomorrow will hopefully tell the tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
