Lawrence is actually the guy I want the Flames to draft. Hopefully he is still on the boards when the Flames pick.

I think Lawrence is going much higher than he should because of the position he plays. It’s a strong winger and defensemen draft. Someone is going to reach for centres and regret it.

For the Flames, it depends on where they pick. Right now they would pick 5th, so Lawrence may well be the BPA at that point. Maybe he is gone before they pick.

I played the draft lottery simulator five times then quit, and the Canucks picked third every time.
Once those two left wingers are gone, thee next two to four best players look to be defensemen.
Anyone going to be surprised when they reach for the centre?

I just played the simulator 4 times, picked 2nd the first 3 times and then 1st. Stopped after that.

Cup contenders could do a lot worse than look at Stamkos.

My #'s are not 100% as I am to lazy to look it up while watching cartoons in my pj's but he has something like 22 goals in his last 28 games.

Edit....et voila.

...with the trade I posted above JR s/b on the phone to "Fitzy" right fucking now seeing if Boeser or DeBrusk are of interest.
