Flames Second Round Targets 2016: Frederic Allard

I grew up as a right-shooting hockey player and while my skill set is most definitely better suited for what I'm doing now – spoiler: I was tremendously mediocre at everything but skating – I can't help but feel like I missed out on an opportunity. Because right-shooting players (at any position) are basically unicorns at this point in time and worth their weight in gold.

Frederic Allard of the Chicoutimi Saguenéens is a right-shooting defenseman that's turned a lot of heads in QMJHL circles this past season. Could he be a good use of one of the Calgary Flames' three second round selections?
