The Flames always trade away their second round picks

The 2019 NHL Draft is in three weeks in scenic Vancouver, British Columbia. As has become a trend over the last decade, the Calgary Flames won’t be drafting in the second round.

The Flames don’t have a second round selection in the 2019 NHL Draft. They traded it to the New York Islanders (along with their 2018 second round pick) for Travis Hamonic. At the time of the trade, general manager Brad Treliving joked that for somebody who says he doesn’t like trading away picks he sure does it a lot.

Historically, all recent Flames GMs sure trade away second round picks a lot.
