Play well, get a place in Stockton??
In the 2018 draft, they took all forwards.

In the 2017 draft, they took 4 forwards + 1 D (valimaki)

In the 2016 draft, they took 2 D out of 8 picks. Those 2 D, Fox and Falkovsky, are now gone from the organization.

The Flames don't have much in the pipeline for D anymore, they only currently have 1 defenceman from the last 3 drafts in their system. In fact assuming Valimaki sticks with Stockton, they won't have a d prospect in the CHL, NCAA, or Europe.
