Summary
The Calgary Flames are poised to make bold moves in the upcoming NHL draft, grabbing Swedish center Viggo Björck sixth overall in a new mock draft from The Athletic. Björck, a smaller but dynamic talent, helped his team win gold at the World Juniors and posted strong numbers in Sweden. The Flames follow up with Medicine Hat’s Liam Ruck, a breakout WHL scorer, in the first round. With a loaded draft haul, Calgary uses multiple picks early, selecting Björck’s teammate Marcus Nordmark and goalies Tobias Trejbal and Egor Shilov. Even Liam’s twin brother Markus is projected to go in the second round. The Flames’ draft strategy focuses on building depth down the middle, using their picks to assemble a young, high-potential roster.
