One of the bigger missed opportunities in recent Calgary Flames history was the signing of Jaromir Jagr. (Jagr’s a legend, and it’s a shame things didn’t work out.) At the 2022 NHL Draft, the Flames could have a second chance of sorts in the form of a youngster from Jagr’s hometown.
Let’s dive into the latest second round target at 59th overall: Czech forward Matyas Sapovaliv.
Scouting report
