The most prominent trade the Calgary Flames made on the second day of the 2018 NHL Draft was obviously the one with the Carolina Hurricanes. But just before that they added a draft pick when they swapped a 2019 fourth round pick to Montreal for a 2018 fourth round selection, taking Vancouver Giants forward Milos Roman at 122nd overall.
While the Slovakian import only played in 39 games for the Giants, he impressed enough for the Flames to go out of their way to grab him. In what’s a bit of a theme for the Flames’ 2018 draft class, Roman represents a calculated gamble (and a potential value selection).
