The sure things, if there is such a thing, are already off the board.
The Flames are slated to step to the microphone toward the tail end of Friday’s second round at Bell Centre — at No. 59 overall. They own just three selections, the others in the fifth and seventh rounds.TSN’s Pierre LeBrun reported that Treliving met in Montreal with Johnny Gaudreau’s agent, Lewis Gross, but didn’t get an answer about whether the superstar left-winger will be staying put at the Saddledome or splitting as an unrestricted free agent. That looms as franchise-altering news.
The Flames won’t add an immediate contributor Friday, certainly not a ready-to-go replacement if Johnny declines their long-term contract offer, but it is possible to find difference-makers on Day 2 of the proceedings.Rasmus Andersson, Dillon Dube and Oliver Kylington were all second-rounders.Their prized goaltending prospect, Dustin Wolf, was still available in the seventh.

“The one single biggest trait, and it’s the hardest to evaluate, is what the player has inside of ’em that is going to make them go to the next level,” Button told Postmedia. “It’s something we always talk about — ‘He knows he has intensive work on his skating, so is he going to be able to commit to that? He has to get better and stronger in the gym.
