## Resource

The Calgary Flames turned draft weekend into a masterclass in savvy trades, building a roster not just by drafting but by strategically swapping assets. In ’85, they shipped off Kent Nilsson for future picks that became Joe Nieuwendyk and Stephane Matteau. In ’09, they secured Jay Bouwmeester by trading Jordan Leopold and a pick to Florida. ’15 saw them land Dougie Hamilton with three picks, and in ’18, they traded Hamilton, Ferland, and Fox to Carolina for Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin—two young stars who later became cornerstone assets. These moves proved the Flames knew how to turn draft capital into long-term success. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
