Welcome to FlamesNation’s “2021 Flames Trade Targets” series, in which our team of writers will take a look at some of the players around the league in need of a change of scenery or rumoured to be on the market.
The 2015 NHL Entry Draft changed the league in many different ways.
Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel went first and second overall, respectively, to two franchises in desperate need of a turnaround. (Five years later, despite Eichel’s best efforts, Buffalo is still looking).
The Calgary Flames entered the day with the 15th selection in the first round but eventually traded it to land Dougie Hamilton from the Boston Bruins.
