Some slick manoeuvring by Brad Treliving landed the Calgary Flames a couple of third round picks in the 2020 NHL Draft. With the first of those two picks, the Flames snagged quite possibly the steal of the weekend selecting ultra skilled, puck wizard Jeremie Poirier.
With his downright dazzling skill, the left shot kid with a mop of red hair could very well be the most dynamic offensive defensemen to emerge from the 2020 entry draft. Ranked highly by many prominent analysts, and expected to be gobbled up early late in the first or early in the second round, Poirier was a great value pick up at 72nd overall.
