First Overall Picks That Have Played For The Flames.
Discussions on CP are, for obvious reasons, very draft-centric so I thought I would get in on the action.
It is abundantly clear that the Calgary Flames have never had a 1st overall pick at an NHL draft.
Now I was wondering though what 1st overall picks have ended up playing for the Flames later on in their careers.
The only one I can think of is Owen Nolan.
Anyone know of any others?

I can't think of any tbh. How the hell did we win a cup in 89 without any first overall picks!?

Roman Hamrlik was a first overall? Could have Googled it but it takes away from WTF value..

And this thread is why we should continue to not follow the oilers. No firsts needed to win a cup.

Hammer was underrated. Hamrlik made Phaneuf look like a competent -- even good -- first pairing NHL defenseman.

We didn't. Rob Ramage was a 1st overall and came at a cost of Brett Hull. Ramage was then traded for a 2nd rnd pick shortly after.

Hmrlik-Aucoin was a phenomenal pairing in their prime for the Isles... and we ended up with both of them.

Hamrlik was a pretty awesome defenseman in his prime, maybe not 1st overall quality, but a nice career in the end, I liked him as a Flame too, just wish we had him a few years earlier.

Can we expand this to top 3 picks now (on my phone...too lazy to search)...seeing as we've never picked that high either

Olli Jokinen and Brad Stuart were also 3rd overalls. Don't think we ever had a 2nd overall (in Calgary, there have been a couple in Atlanta).
