Flames Drafting Right in First Round
Description
The Calgary Flames are turning their once-troubled first-round draft history into a winning streak, with five of their last picks already suiting up in the NHL during the 2025-26 season—and two more poised to join them in this year’s draft. Smart acquisitions, calculated bets on high-potential prospects like Gridin and Potter, and a legacy of stars like MacInnis and Backlund who played over 1,000 games show they’re building a sustainable core from within. Sure, there have been misses, but the Flames are finally hitting their mark more often than not—making this a pivotal moment for their long-term success.
