The Flames didn’t have many draft picks, and didn’t have many high quality picks. Accordingly, when they came up to pick, they couldn’t find many guys who put up high numbers.
Except for Martin Pospisil (POS-peh-sil). He puts up big numbers. This past season, the 6’2″, 172 lb. USHL centre/left winger picked up 253 penalty minutes in 49 games, far and away the USHL’s leader in that category, and perhaps the leader in the whole 2018 draft class. It may not be the big numbers people typically like from prospects, but they’re still big numbers.
But the Flames didn’t pick a goon in Pospisil.
