The NHL Draft is one week away and the Calgary Flames will first march to the podium with the 15th overall selection in the annual event. You will hear and read all kinds of commentary on who the team will get in the first round, and what they may do with the pick, but this draft will get interesting for Flames fans on day two.
The Flames looked ahead to this year’s draft a few months ago and liked the depth that they saw. Many experts are saying this crop of teenaged hockey player’s could be even better than the famous 2003 group that saw star players going in every round, and many teams around the league building their core through that one draft.
