Calgary Flames fans can breathe – Islanders get 12th draft pick from Flames
With panic ensuing among fans about where the New York Islanders would draft from the pick they got from the Calgary Flames, we can all breathe a little easier now.
As a Calgary Flames fan, the draft lottery could not have gone any better. Everyone thought that the New York Islanders would end up winning the first overall pick at this year’s NHL draft from the pick they got from the Flames.
Deep breaths Calgary.
Not only did the Islanders only place 12th with that pick from CGY, the Edmonton Oilers also only got the 10th pick. I definitely thought the Oilers and Islanders would get the first and second overall picks. Because that’s just the way the universe likes to work against the Flames.
