The Calgary Flames currently have seven of their own first round selections under contract. Five of them have established themselves as regular National Hockey League players. That group might grow by one this fall, depending on how things shake out on the blueline.
The franchise’s most recent first round pick, 2017’s 6’2, 204 lb. Juuso Valimaki, has turned a lot of heads over the past year and change. He stood out at July’s development camp in several ways and, at least right now, he’s the Flames’ top prospect, jumping up from our third ranking in 2017.
