FlamesNation Top 20 Prospects 2018: #10 Morgan Klimchuk
Way, way back in 1976 the Atlanta Flames drafted Kent Nilsson, who became a very good National Hockey League player. At the 1985 NHL Draft, Nilsson was flipped to the Minnesota North Stars in exchanged for a pair of second round picks – one was used to select Joe Nieuwendyk. Nieuwendyk became a very good NHLer and was traded to Dallas in 1995 for Jarome Iginla (and Corey Millen). Iginla also became a very good NHLer before being traded to Pittsburgh in 2013 for a package that included a first round pick that was used to select Morgan Klimchuk.
