Haven't been this excited about a Flames draft pick since Tkachuk.

First piece of the new core.

Very excited to see him develop in Vancouver this year.

He wasn't even born yet during the '04 run. Makes me feel old.

No, but going back 40 weeks from his birthday means he was likely conceived in the midst of a Flames 4 game win streak in February as Kiprusoff returned from injury. Don't know why I felt compelled to look that up, but probably a good omen.

I could see him playing some to get the experience and then going back to the WHL before game 10 to finish the season. Then next year, training camp determines if he starts in the AHL or NHL.

Is it weird that I am just as excited about Suniev as I am Honzek?

I'm immensely excited for both!

Flames did well this past draft.

I doubt he gets the 9 or even a few actually. Didn't have a full year last year, theres no intention of keeping him up anyway I'd imagine.

When you're done with all that, I think there's a picture of Robyn Regehr's parents' home somewhere around here.

How does it work if he doesn't make the main roster? He's 18, so he could technically stay here and play for the Wranglers, no?

Does anyone know where Suniev is going to play this year?

It would be awesome if he went to Vancouver to play with Honzek and Lipinski:

Honzek - Lipinski - Suniev

and Vancouver fans can cry all season long, as they tear up the Dub together.

I don't believe he's AHL eligible until the 2024 season.

But I think we all know the person making that tweet has zero credibility so who knows..../s joking Scorp.

There is a loophole for Honzek to play in the AHL this year, but it only available if his Euro team loaned him to the Giants, which hasn't been reported.
