With time ticking down to the 2009 NHL entry draft, here are some of the considerations and issues to keep in mind heading into Friday.
- The Flames own 7 picks in this year's draft, but only one is inside the top 60 (20th overall). Their other choices include 67 (via PHX), 107 (via CBJ), 111, 140, 170 and 200. In terms of rounds that's: round 1, round 3, round 4 (x2), round 5, round 6 and round 7.

...according to TSN sources, which tend to be fairly accurate about stuff like this. While Jean made a good argument as to why Darryl would be back behind the bench a little while ago, this move doesn't surprise me in the least.
