Five things we learned over draft weekend

The Calgary Flames got a lot accomplished in Buffalo this weekend. On top of significantly addressing their goaltending issues at an affordable price, the Flames selected nine players at the 2016 NHL Draft. It was a busy weekend that taught us a lot about Calgary’s group, specifically for next season. Let’s take a look at the most important lessons we learned over the last few days.
