  1. Flames will trade up to draft Nick Ritchie

  2. nerdytendy

    Ngl I haven’t done a ton of digging into the draft class but I’ve read of more impressive prospects that might be available

    There will be better players than both of these. Strange article tbh. Dragicevic in particular would be a bad reach at 16.

  4. SwedishMeatwall

    I want Calum Ritchie. I really think he’s going to end up being a top line playmaker. Poor mans Marner.

  5. The_Gaudfather

    Andrew Cristall is super interesting to me. He should be a top 10 lock, but some are projecting him to fall. I’d be thrilled to get him.

  6. SomeJerkOddball

    I’m guessing that either we’ll be moving in the draft, or our current pick won’t be out only one.

    We had one yes, but what about second Ritchie.

  8. WhiskerZ-

    No more F’in Ritchies. It started with Byron and ends now with Nick haha.

    Dragicevic is my personal #1 choice this draft. The last guy to produce like him in the WHL in their draft year was Bowen Byram, before that I believe it was Ty Smith who went 17th OA the year before. As of right now Dragicevic is kind of a middle point between the 2. He’s more similar to Smith in the sense that his defensive game needs some work (though not bad, just more prone to being too deep when defending the rush), whereas Byram was quite well rounded. But on the other hand he has the natural physique that Byram shares.

    Do they think we’re picking in mid to late twenties? Will be many better products to pick then these two

    Crystall probably falls and he’s almost 2 points per a game in the W. He’s not perfect, but he’s worth a shot at 16 if available. I also like Wood, Perrault, and Barlow more than Dragicevic or Ritchie. Heck, some rankings have Dragicevic dropping to the second.
