Summary
Calgary Flames fans are holding their breath as the team heads into the next draft with two third-round picks—can they finally break a decades-long streak of underwhelming selections? Since Lance Bouma in 2008, no third-round pick has played over 200 NHL games. But recent picks like Aydar Suniev, Henry Mews, and Kirill Zarubin show flashes of promise, while past gems like Mike Vernon and Perry Berezan remind us the Flames have had success here before. With trades of third-round picks for players like Zadorov and Vladar, the Flames are willing to gamble—but this draft could be their chance to rewrite history and find a true franchise gem.
