The Calgary Flames have made a pretty big signing, locking up one of their top prospects. The club has signed college star Emilio Pettersen to a three year entry level deal.
Pettersen, 20, was the Flames sixth round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft. He impressed in the USHL during his draft year, impressed as a freshman with the University of Denver, and then continued to impress as a sophomore.
The Norwegian product has consistently improved since coming over to North America in his early teens, emerging as Denver’s top offensive threat and one of the top players in his age group in all of college hockey.
