The draft has come and gone, and every team has a litany of new prospects added into their mix. Now that people have had a day to figure out who all their new prospects are, figured it would be time to see how teams pools are sorting out. For my post I’ll use U25 and less than 40 games played as the cut off, but if others have different benchmarks feel free to use them. For Calgary, my personal list looks like:
1)Zayne Parekh
Doesn’t need much introduction, he had one of the highest CHL draft year production levels seen in a long time and won CHL defenseman of the year.
2)Dustin Wolf
Has dominated every level up to the NHL so far, and is about to be a full time NHLer starting this season.
3) Matt Coronato
High skill with a great shot and motor. Had 42 points in 41 AHL games as a rookie with not much help on the roster.
4) Samuel Honzek
Rough draft +1 year, but was dealing with numerous injuries. Was always going to be a project, I’m one of the few Flames fans who still see lots of upside.
5) Jakob Pelletier
Great production in the AHL and was supposed to make the next step this past season but an injury derailed that plans.
6) Matvei Gridin
Led the USHL in scoring this past season and just oozes skill. Has some question marks about his compete levels but the talent is at a high level.
7) Hunter Brzustewicz
Would’ve led the OHL in scoring by defenseman is the aforementioned Parekh wasn’t also there. Great draft +1, his playmaking and IQ are his calling cards.
8) Andrew Basha
Plays fast and hard, with talent to boot. Could be a top 6 wing if everything goes right but plays the right way to be an effective middle 6er.
9)Jérémie Poirier
Had an insane start to the season in the AHL before being lacerated by a skate. Didn’t look the same when he came back from his injury, but will be likely back to full speed to start next year. Like always mentioned with him, will need to work on his defense to be an effective NHLer but the offensive skills are elite already.
10)William Strömgren
Most Flames fans would probably rather have an Étienne Morin here or maybe Suniev, but I love this player. He has a great mix of size, speed and skill; but has always struggled to put it together to get production. By the end of this season in the AHL it looked like it was finally coming together
HM: Morin, Suniev, Bell
Graduated: Zary, Pospisil
