The 2020 NHL Draft is scheduled for October 6 and 7, conducted remotely. The Calgary Flames have a first round selection and will pick 19th overall. In advance of the draft, we’ll be looking at some contenders to be selected at 19th.
Rodion Amirov looks like a safe bet to be the first Russian skater off the board in this year’s draft. The Flames have only selected a Russian in the first round once in their history (Oleg Saprykin—of “The Shift” fame—way back in 1999) but Amirov has the star power to be a massive steal at 19th.
