Friends, it’s no secret that the Calgary Flames often draft from the Western Hockey League. They own a WHL team, the Calgary Hitmen, and that gives them a nice built-in advantage in terms of scouting that league. When it comes to the 2022 NHL Draft, there are several interesting WHLers who could be available for the Flames when they select at 59th overall.
Let’s look at one in particular: Seattle Thunderbirds forward Jordan Gustafson.
Scouting report
Originally from Ardrossan, Alberta – a hamlet just east of Edmonton – Gustafson is a left shot winger listed at 5’11” and 179 pounds.
