Summary
The Carolina Hurricanes just claimed their second Stanley Cup, knocking out Vegas — and that’s a big win for the Calgary Flames. With Vegas eliminated, Calgary jumps to 30th overall in the upcoming draft, thanks to a trade involving Noah Hanifin. But it’s not all sunshine: the Flames’ conditional pick from Vegas — which would’ve been upgraded to a first-round selection if Vegas won — now stays a second-rounder. That means Calgary’s got a packed draft schedule with 12 picks across the next two drafts, plus a solid haul coming up. On a personal note, only former Flame Mark Jankowski lifted the Cup this year — while both Hanifin and Andersson, traded away, still chase their first championship. The NHL Draft kicks off June 26th in Buffalo, with free agency starting July 1st — setting the stage for a wild few weeks for the Flames and the league.
