FlamesNation Prospect Profile #17: Mason McDonald

Historically, the Flames have had bad luck with goalies that they've drafted early in the NHL Draft. Since moving to Calgary, the club has drafted six goalies in the first two rounds that didn't amount to very much (of Jason Muzzatti, Trevor Kidd, Evan Lindsay, Brent Krahn, Andrei Medvedev and Leland Irving, only Kidd was a significant NHLer).

While it's too early to tell how 2016 second rounder Tyler Parsons will turn out, two seasons after being drafted 2014 pick Mason McDonald has experienced some ups and downs at the junior level and faces a pretty big 2016-17 season as he finally goes pro.
