@Q__Aaron My only thing would be if you truly think Viggo is a Centre, it’s becomes a really tough choice. Win-win still, but position value on the C def higher.

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

Win-win either way. Personally, I’ve gone back and forth on them. I do believe next year, Verhoeff takes a huge step and some teams are left kicking themselves. Carels MIGHT start off slower going against better competition, but he a stud too.

[FlamesNation @FlamesNation]

Which defenseman would you want the #Flames to draft? Carels or Verhoeff?

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@connie_szn IMO if Verhoeff stayed in the WHL he’s a top 3 pick, and it’s not even up for discussion.

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@tsleaney Agree to disagree on Verhoeff, I think he’s a stud.

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

Apparently everyone reporting who teams are taking for dinner in Buffalo…. I’ve heard #flames are with Verhoeff and Lawrence. Having previously done so with Carels and the Rucks.

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@Brad_Fernandes lol I did mention in another post that it’s not really news, and standard procedure

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@A_dam_47 I don’t think that is for 6th, but could be wrong. He’s DEFINITELY a trade up target if he falls past 10, and they can’t trade for 4th.

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@LaForgesVisor Not sure! Take it with a grain of salt though. 2 years ago I heard they met with a bunch of guys and only came away with 1 of them. Draft time is wild

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@AntiTankAIDrone I don’t really think it’s news really, but yeah. Pretty routine stuff

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@a_darkcorner Between these two. Second scenario is more likely, Zary and Whitecloud probably have more perceived value in this market than other markets. I don’t think the first scenario is even close, value wise.

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@BWoostersauce @connie_szn Barely happens for sure.

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

Fantasy Land: Frost, Vegas pick, 2nd for 8th …… #flames leave with Carels and Bjorck.

[NHL Rumour Report @NHLRumourReport]

David Pagnotta: Winnipeg may move the eighth-overall pick for immediate second-line help (they want a 2C and a 2LW this summer) - Fourth Period (5/30)

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@Hurta19 I actually like his game, wouldn’t be my first choice though. Definitely not the flashiest pick.

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

#flames most likely at 6: Carels, Bjork, Verhoeff. Don’t sleep on them drafting 4th if a winger falls. Hawks would get multiple assets, plus a guy like Smits at 6.

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

Looking forward to next year’s predictions 😂

“With the 6th overall pick in the 2026 nhl entry draft…. The calgary flames………”

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@ColtonBaxter17 I’ve got something for ya…. Check DMs

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@Chens89 @NoDakMets I think there’s a ton of factors that can change how we look at the leagues. Carels was also recruited, so I’m assuming those types of discussions have taken place (playing time, situations etc). The one thing that’s a guarantee is more gym time, at that age is beneficial

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

Curious to see how this goes, I don’t think we’ve wrapped our heads around how much of a difference the NCAA is vs CHL with new rules.

[NHL News @PuckReportNHL]

Carson Carels, a projected top-10 pick in next month’s #NHLDraft, has committed to the University Of North Dakota (NCAA) for 26/27.

The defenseman put up 73 points in 58 GP with Prince George Cougars (WHL) in 25/26. #4 ranked 2026 draft prospect by @eliteprospects

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

@NoDakMets 100% level competition. I think recently, NCAA has evolved to be a higher level of competition….. I don’t think we’ve gotten a good handle on how big the gap is yet, since the changes are so new.

[cmpdave @davedubbin85]

Not long until he’s getting these from Reschny 💁🏻‍♂️
