## Resource

The Calgary Flames made a bold move in the 2026 NHL Draft, selecting nine new players with a mix of elite talent and high-potential risers—some carrying injury baggage. Top pick Carson Carels dazzled as a defenseman with 73 points in the WHL, while Jack Hextall and Chase Harrington delivered strong offensive stats. Goalie Tobias Trejbal led the USHL in GAA and shutouts, and Alan Shaikhlislamov showed scoring flashes despite missing time. The Flames also added Joe Iginla, Egor Barabanov, Simon Katolicky, and Bode Laylin—each bringing unique strengths and challenges. This draft class is packed with upside, but injuries loom large.
