The first round of the 2021 NHL Draft will take place on July 23. Following the results of the draft lottery, the Flames hold the 12th overall selection and will have a chance to add a high-end prospect to their organization.
Up next, an Ontario Hockey League standout that spent the past season in scenic Slovakia: defenseman Brandt Clarke.
