Five players the Flames could take with their first rounder (if they don’t trade it)

Barring a massive collapse, the Calgary Flames will select late in the first round of the 2019 NHL Draft. Well, unless they trade their pick. To get a sense of what exactly the Flames would be giving up, here’s a rundown of five players the Flames could pick in the first round (if they keep the pick).

D Ville Heinola

A 5’11, 176 lb. left-shot defender from Finland, Heinola has spent the majority of 2018-19 playing with Lukko of SM-Liiga. He has six points in 23 pro games.

Heinola is a talented offensive defenseman.
