It’s just about August, and August means no hockey. We’re not far away from hockey coming back, but in the meantime, there is very much no hockey being played.
On top of that, August is the one month of the calendar devoid of any big NHL events. Preseason? No. Postseason? No. Regular season? Absolutely not. Emotional Jarome Iginla retirement ceremonies? Almost. Free agency and trades? Kinda, those are still possibilities, but a lot of the main action has already taken place. And the draft? Absolutely not.
But on that note, we’ve had plenty of time to digest the results of the Flames’ 2018 draft.
