The Flames haven’t hit pay dirt in the fourth round in awhile

The 2022 NHL Draft will be the ninth for the Calgary Flames under general manager Brad Treliving. In the prior eight drafts, the Flames have made seven fourth-round picks.

Here are the Flames’ fourth-rounders since 2014. The joke used to be that the Flames’ found their best players in the fourth round. But that hasn’t been the case lately.

(The Flames’ 2014 fourth-rounder was traded to Toronto for Joe Colborne.)

(The Flames’ 2015 fourth-rounder was traded to San Jose for T.J. Galiardi.)

2016: Linus Lindstrom (centre, 96th overall, Skelleftea U20 – J20 SuperElit)

A two-way centre, Lindstrom was the 8th-ranked International skater (per Central Scouting) and ranked 80th by FC Hockey in his draft class.
