2016 NHL Draft: Calgary Flames rumour roundup

It's here. At long last, the day we've long been waiting for since the Flames' season ended pitifully on April 9: it's officially the NHL Draft.

Well, not quite yet; the draft itself is still 11 hours away. But as we know, it can be a very, very busy day.

Just last year, while we were all speculating just who, exactly, the Calgary Flames would take at 15th overall, they made a gigantic splash out of nowhere by acquiring Dougie Hamilton. Nobody saw it coming: then bam, all of a sudden the Flames had taken over the day's chatter.
