Calgary Hitmen Carson Focht, Mark Kastelic drafted in 5th round
Two Calgary Hitmen heard their names called on the draft floor Saturday afternoon.
And the pair weren’t taken far apart — only eight picks separated the two in the fifth round.
Hitmen captain Mark Kastelic heard his name first with Pierre Dorion and the Ottawa Senators calling his name 125th overall. C Carson Focht was taken not far behind, 133rd overall by the Vancouver Canucks.
Kastelic was a near lock for a pick at some point Saturday with myself expecting it to be near the seventh-round. Focht, on the other hand, is a player who flew under many radars this WHL season but a late-season outburst is likely what got him picked.
