2022 FlamesNation Prospect Rankings: #16 William Strömgren
When it comes to drafting and development, every organization has their philosophies and comfort zone. The Calgary Flames have embraced a philosophy of diversity: they like to take different types of players from different parts of the hockey world, in an approach that at times insulates them from organizational risk.
A tall, toolsy forward from Sweden, William Strömgren is a project pick who’s drawn unfavourable comparisons from some fans because of who he isn’t. He’s the 16th-ranked prospect on this year’s rankings.
