The Calgary Flames have a great roster. Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan, Matthew Tkachuk, Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm are all exceptional hockey players. The problem is a simple one. Depth. The Flames haven’t had enough depth to surpass the competition.
The Flames do have a stocked farm system and it won’t be long before several of these prospects are in the NHL providing secondary help.
But, let’s take a look at who are the top ten prospects in their system.
1. Jakob Pelletier, LW, Moncton Wildcats (QMJHL)
HT/WT: 5-9/161 lbs
Age: 18
Drafted: 26th overall in the 2019 draft by the Calgary Flames
Jakob Pelletier is easily becoming one of the most offensively talented prospects in the QMJHL.
