When it comes to player preferences, many hockey clubs are creatures of habit – and the Calgary Flames are no exception. The Flames have had a lot of success with Swedish players in their history, and with their need for blueliners it might not be surprising if they selected a Swedish defender.
Junior standout Simon Forsmark may be a good fit for their preferences and need at 59th overall.
Scouting report
Forsmark is a left shot blueliner listed at 6’2″ and 194 pounds. He’s a product of Kumla, Sweden, just outside of Orebro, and is an October 2003 birthday.
