We can finally breathe a sigh of relief Calgary Flames fans. Don’t worry, the Flames didn’t do something dumb. And there may have not been any exciting blockbuster trades for the Flames, but they got a solid pick! The Flames right now really need a solid top-four defenceman if they don’t re-sign Michael Stone.
Now, of course, they won’t find that in this year’s draft, however loading up on defenceman, especially when they’ve been drafting forwards in their first round draft selections in the last few years may shape out to be a good choice! That being said, let’s meet the Flames first round draft pick, Juuso Valimaki.
