From time to time, hockey clubs draft players from their local areas. Sometimes it works out fairly well – Dillon Dube sure has been a good Calgary Flame, for example – and sometimes it’s not as successful. This year’s promising local product is college-bound forward Dylan James.
Could James be a fit for the Flames at 59th overall?
Scouting report
James is a local boy, born and raised in the Calgary area. He’s a left shot winger listed at 6’0″ and 181 pounds. He’s an October 2003 birthday, and as such is one of the older first-time eligible prospects in the draft class.
