Like we mention in every draft profile, the Calgary Flames have many options for this year’s 16th overall pick at the 2017 NHL Draft. The top priorities for the Flames this upcoming season (like I keep mentioning) is a starting goaltender, a top four defenceman, and some bottom-six wingers. The wingers are the least of the Flames worries right now. Their main priority will be a goaltender. However, it’s highly unlikely they’ll be drafting a goaltender.
With how big the trade market is for goalies and free agency, not even speaking about some prospects they have that are going to be killer NHL goaltenders in a couple of years (cough cough Tyler Parsons cough cough), they’ll most likely be looking to pick up either a winger or a defenceman.
