Like a lot of teams, the Calgary Flames have their comfort zones when it comes to the NHL Draft. In recent years, they’ve had some success drafting players from the Ontario Hockey League. So with only a handful of picks in the 2022 draft, maybe they’ll skew towards their comfort zones?
Soo Greyhounds centre Bryce McConnell-Barker could be a good fit for the Flames at 59th overall.
