M&G's Top 25 Under 25: #23 - Pavel Karnaukhov

Despite sharing a building and owning the team for about 20 years now, the Flames have only looked to their WHL counterparts in the Calgary Hitmen for draft prospects three times. Two of them came in the 2000 draft, one being ninth overall goalie Brent Krahn, and the other being fifth round pick Wade Davis. Combined, they played a total of all of one (1) NHL game.

They'll certainly look to improve that record with Pavel Karnaukhov, their fifth round pick in the most recent draft. The 6'3, 194 lb. Belarusian import - one of the two on the Hitmen, the other being Russian Philadelphia Flyers prospect Radel Fazleev - didn't fare too well in his first North American season, but has shown signs of incredible promise heading forwards.
