The Flames have been sorely lacking in right wing depth since Iggy left, which is pretty dang sad considering all the time they had to fix that one specific problem. Free agency hasn’t really worked out and neither has trading. The team, throughout various management regimes, is seemingly adverse to drafting at that position, having only drafted seven in the previous 10 years (before the 2017 draft), and only two of them in the top 100 (Mitch Wahl and Hunter Smith).
To be fair, they have taken some steps to try and alleviate that problem. In the past two drafts, the Flames have selected four RWers (one converted C, Matthew Phillips), each with a unique skillset.
