Bennett is an inch and 10 lbs bigger on the list I'm looking at. Leon is 3 inches and 40 lbs bigger, but if Burke's "Big kid. Don't like him, move on"(paraphrasing) comment has any merit Flames are not interested. Granted he might just say this to mess with other teams. Gm Treliving whose call the pick supposedly is I have no idea. You're right it's going to be a fun draft. So much parity in the top 6-8ish If Van stays at 6 I think they take either Ehlers or Dal Colle. Both will be good NHL'ers. As a rival fan I hope they get neither.

Can't see it. Nylander is is listed at 5'11" 170lbs. Burke's first complaint of the Flames was that they are tiny. Add to the the emerging but diminutive John Gaudreau and a Nylander selection looks unlikely.

There would be a certain amount of irony if Vancouver gets Reinhart - who lists Flames as his fav team, and Calgary gets Virtanen - who lists Canucks as his favorite. I have not heard any rumors before here that Calgary is interested in Virtanen. If he was in their plans they would trade down. My feel is that Calgary is ranks them as 1. Reinhart 2. Bennett 3. Ekblad 4. Dal Colle 5. Draisaitl (or possibly Ritchie)
