One of the more intriguing prospects in Calgary’s pipeline is 24-year-old Johannes Kinnvall. A bit of a late bloomer, the offensively gifted defender was scooped up by Brad Treliving just after the NHL season pause in 2020.
Kinnvall’s emergence overseas has earned him standing as one of the more exciting and dynamic blue-liners in the Flames’ pipeline. He will, at last, make his way to North America this year and many are hopeful his strong offensive results can translate to the NHL.
Let’s check in with the Gävle native as our 17th-ranked prospect.
