Only two of the prospects on our 2021 top 20 list joined the Flames through a trade.
19-year-old forward Emil Heineman checks in at 14th overall on this ranking approximately four months after being acquired from the Florida Panthers. Calgary also picked up Florida’s 2022 second-round draft pick in the trade, which saw 2014 fourth-overall selection Sam Bennett become a Panther.
The Panthers selected Heineman in the second round of the 2020 draft. He’s a fast winger who can effectively use his 6’1″ frame and is capable of lining up on both sides.
Heineman likely won’t arrive in North America until the 2022–23 season.
