"I've been up here in Calgary for about three weeks now, working out," Littler said. "That second day of the draft, me and (Flames prospect) Parker (Bell) were checking our phones every once a while during our workout to see how things were going. When we saw he got drafted - to Calgary of all places - we were so excited. I texted him right away and you could tell he was pumped, too."

The 6-foot-3, 200-lb. winger is intriguing prospect, with the 'strides' he's taken since being drafted one year ago.

"Skating is a huge thing for me," Littler said. "I've been working with (Skating Coach) Danielle (Fujita) all last summer and throughout the season, and she's been great for me. … All the resources the team has provided has helped me grow my game and try new things, and I'm seeing improvements in all areas every single day because of it."
