2015 Draft
Seems like a good night to talk about the 2015 draft.
The Flames go in with a first and three seconds in a rebuild. They turn the first and two seconds into Dougie Hamilton. Then draft Rasmus Andersson and Oliver Kylington in the second round and Andrew Mangiapane in the 6th.
Two plus years later they trade Dougie Hamilton for Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin, and with that the 2015 draft gives the Flames three of their top four defensemen, their first line center, and their second line sniping winner.
Lots made of the 2016 draft, but the 2015 draft was a franchise changer.

Thanks for this, I was just thinking about this draft today. It really has been massively impactful to this current team.
