Episode Details

The Calgary Flames could secure a top-six pick in the 2026 NHL draft, potentially even higher, with Ryan Lin, a highly-touted right-shot defenseman from the Vancouver Giants. Despite his teams poor performance, Lin shone with 14 goals and 57 points in 53 games, showcasing his elite skating, puck control, and smarts. Scouts compare him to modern defenders like Lane Hutson, praising his dynamic two-way play and transition game. Lins strong rookie season and playoff performance have solidified his status as a potential impact player. The Flames may need to trade down or package picks to secure him, but his profile makes him worth the pursuit.
