ICYMI: Sweet 16: Who could Flames target with first-round draft pick?
“This is a deep draft,” said Craig Conroy, now at the helm as Calgary’s general manager. “There are just so many good players. Even at No. 16, it’s going to be a really good pick this year.”There’s an impressive list of No. 16 alums who are currently impact sorts in the NHL, from forwards Mathew Barzal, Vladimir Tarasenko and Tom Wilson to Jakob Chychrun and familiar faces Juuso Valimaki and Nikita Zadorov on the back-end.
Do they instead covet a high-scoring winger such as Colby Barlow, Andrew Cristall or Gabriel Perreault or a power-forward project like Samuel Honzek? “You have to make an order because you can’t sit at the table and second-guess. So we’ll be ready with our list and we’ll go from there. But I think in this draft, you have it all.”
