For me draft day is a holiday but I can't always take the day off. Thank goodness the first round doesn't start until 6:00 p.m.. I will be hurrying back home to watch what unfolds !
I see Tij doing 5th to 7th I’d be very happy to land Cayden we need to chill on D conroy added a lot of defencemen plus we got Hunter B we need serious offence depth at this point
Nice problem to have eh guys? 🙂 There isn't much consensus amongst the scouts on the order of the top ten prospects this year past Macklin. But I agree with you Mark, I am not confident Lindstrom with be there, but if he is, that is the guy I take. He has the potential of being a true #1 center. Nearly impossible to get those guys in a trade. I like Catton, but I think Tij's style of play translates a little better to our conference. PS I believe that is pronounced Spokahhn 😉
Lindstrom is the guy I wish the Flames would draft but I really doubt that he will be there at 9. I doubt Iginla will be there either. Catton seems the more likely which isn't bad
Flames are plain DUMB if they don't grab Catton or Lindstrom if available at 9. These are 2 TRUE #1 Centers who you BUILD around! This Team has cried and moaned for years that they haven't HAD a TRUE #1 Center???? Well...Grab it on Friday!!!
It's going to be a wild draft, but I think it is more likely that Catton and a couple of the five rated D men are left at #9. This team is likely picking in the top 10 next season so grab the best player. I don't think I would spend capital to trade up, we should get a great player at 9.
I think the only way the Flames think about trading up is if guys like Lindstrom and Demidov slip a bit and are still available at 5 or 6. I think Catton is one of the bigger gambles of the top 10-15 due to his size but he has some of the highest potential if he can translate and keep developing his game. Some of his best skills being IQ, Vision and timing are things that are hard to teach and they translate very well to higher level pro hockey. I know I've said it multiple times before but he's someone that grew on me more and more this season and someone I'd like to roll the dice on if Tij and Lindstrom are gone. I wouldn't mind Dickinson or Parekh but I'd far prefer to try and get one of the aforementioned forwards to be honest.
I don't see Cayden dropping to 9th. Injury can obviously impact scouts opinions, but most mock drafts have Lindstrom going 4-5. Only Craig Button has Iginla off the board before Calgary picks. We all know that teams get off the board and maybe someone grabs him. But as much as I want Iginla, if Lindstrom is available you HAVE to take him (but he won't be).

That would be awesome but Lindstrom will probably be picked before Tij
Lindstrom is the best but I doubt he will be available at 9. Seen crazier things happen though!
You're making me feel better about the fact we probably won't get Tij. Plenty of talent out there
Should be a great outcome no matter what! 🔥
@@FlamesDigest 🤞🤞
Macklin Celebrini drops to 9 on my mock list
Lindstrom worrys me with a back injury at 18 years old. My heart says Tij but my brain says Catton
forward for this draft, and we already got ball for defense. 🔥🔥🔥
100000% agree my man! 🔥🔥
I've been leaning towards Lindstrom but the back thing does make me weary. Id be happy with Lindstrom/Catton or Tij.

Trade up for Tij and get him

Not a bad option! Kid’s got skill! 🔥
Catton will be the only one of the 3 available when the Flames pick at 9

Let’s hope they do! 🔥🔥

Cayden at #9 will be a homerun
Don't be surprised if Chicago takes Demidov the Ducks take Tij at 3.. No joke I see it happening..

Tij all day
Calgary flames need to stay away from prospects and youngsters deals
