Draft season is almost upon us, and the Calgary Flames head into the 2025 NHL Draft with multiple first round selections (for the second consecutive year). What do the Flames need? What types of picks have they made in the past? And what can we expect them to do in each round of the 2025 NHL Draft?

Draft and free agency, getting excited
I think Conny needs to do everything he can to move up and grab one of those higher tier centers.
Pike keep up the great work!
The wrench strikes again. Lol. Good break down Pike. Keep it going.
18th overall — Alberta boy Braeden Cootes. C'mon down!
Cooates or Kindel is my guy at 18… Cooates is the safer pick Kindel more upside
As usual you are concise and informative but next time maybe include the flames best picks on those rounds? Would be interesting to see how the best flames fall in the draft for us
love your work Pike!
All positive on draft day
5 1st round picks played for the flames this year, can't forget the kissing bandit Pelletier!
