We just put out a mock draft not too long ago. Not sure how the Flames pick will go over.

To counteract, Aatu Raty might be of interest (we had him going one pick after the Flames). We chatted with him not too long ago:

I’m a big Oil Kings fan and am delighted that we could have two first-rounders. Dylan Gunther is lighting up the WHL and goalie Sebastian Cossa looks like an elite prospect as he’s been backstopping the OKs to an unbeaten season so far. My big regret is that I can’t head to arena for games.

We really deserve to win the lottery in 2022 and get Shane Wright.

Players the Flames will have their sights set on. Any small skilled LW or LD in general. Build that depth!!! William Eklund seems the perfect target with Fabian Lysell as the backup. Lambos makes sense too. Moar smallish left shooting players!!!

Beniers would be a good get I think. He already looks 35.

Exactly.

Going to be a crazy draft with so few games being played.

Tre might be able to move around more than usual and stock up on some left hand shots that the team desperately needs.

Small is preferable.

Vast majority of all players drafted will be left handed shots

righties are getting more rare every year


People used to complain about the Flames drafting big players...this place is just toxic lately

That usually happens when the team is stuck in an cycle of mediocrity with no real tangible reason for optimism. At this point though i'm used to it, always holding out hope things will eventually change and the city can get what it deserves.

Flames are going to be just bad enough to get Aatu Raty at pick #12. That's my prediction.

I should've added that you can have some own fun and build your own mock draft here: https://nhlentrydraft.com/mock-draft/

If you'd just like to build your own ranking (not a mock) you can do so here: https://nhlentrydraft.com/rankings-builder/

I did one myself just for fun: https://nhlentrydraft.com/mock-draft/48805/

If we don't go out and get a Nemisz I will be pissed.

Did some reading on Shane Wright last night this kid is gonna be a stud. Do we know if the 2021 and 2022 draft are gonna be combined? If they are perfect time to stock pile on picks these next few years rebuild/retool before the new arena.

Seems like it would be a decent pick. Hopefully he could turn into a higher end Backlund. The team does need to rebuild at the center position.

Drafts are going ahead as they usually would.

And yes Shane Wright is all of the answers the Flames and 31 other teams covet. I personally cannot think of any other player to showoff your new home arena.

Off topic, but has anyone done any research as to why this is? Most people are right-handed, and usually that’s associated with the right arm being stronger. If the lower hand on the stick is what gives a shot a lot of its power and control in aiming a shot, it seems more logical that left-handed shots would be less common.

Another thought: A lot of hockey players are golfers (the Flames are going to get a lot more golf in this year). Do most of them also golf left-handed?

Being absolutely everything right handed, I've often thought the same thing. I couldn't shoot a left shot if my life depended on it.
