The Calgary Flames have focused on building up the middle, in terms of trying to invest and/or acquire goaltenders, defencemen and centres. Centres in particular have been a focus in recent seasons, with the Flames drafting a ton of them.
Guelph Storm pivot Matthew Poitras could be a very interesting consideration for the Flames at 59th overall.
