“The Flames would be ecstatic to land Stenberg, even though he has cooled off quite considerably in recent weeks. The fact that Stenberg has played consistently well against men, averaging 16-18 minutes a night, is impressive on its own. Stenberg generates high-quality plays as effectively and consistently as anyone in this draft class, while boasting some of the best vision and hockey sense of any forward. His World Junior performance definitely helped his draft stock, too. There’s still a very solid chance he goes first, but we’ll see if he finishes the year off strong. For what it’s worth, I hope Sweden takes him to the World Championship (he isn’t eligible for the U-18s).”

“Morozov’s numbers have stabilized a bit. But playing 20 minutes a night on an underdog Miami team and putting up 20 points in 36 games? That’s absolutely nothing to sneeze at. Being 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds also helps. Morozov commands attention, and he’s an absolute pain-in-the-rear-end to try to contain. The Flames could use some extra center depth, and Morozov absolutely should be in the conversation here – many scouts liken him to a bigger Wyatt Johnston.”
