Flames Darkhorse Targets 2016: Rem Pitlick

Today we profile 19-year-old Rem Pitlick of the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the USHL, a high-scoring over-ager that is expected to be drafted very late in the 2016 draft. His father, Lance Pitlick, had a moderate career in the NHL as a defenseman through the 1990's and early 2000's.

Every year there's a few undrafted over-agers that put up impressive enough numbers in their junior/Euro leagues to warrant a late round selection after their draft-eligible year. Last year we saw Connor Garland and Andrew Mangiapane do just this and go in the fifth (by Arizona) and sixth rounds (by Calgary), respectively.
