Since Brad Treliving arrived in 2014, the Calgary Flames have made six selections in the fifth round of the NHL Draft. As of now, the Flames have signed zero of these players to NHL contracts and fifth-rounders have only played minor league games on minor league deals.
Here’s a look back on their fifth-round challenges.
(The Flames’ 2014 fifth-rounder was traded to St. Louis for Kris Russell.)
2015: Pavel Karnaukhov (left wing, 136th overall, Calgary – WHL)
A Belarusian import, Karnaukhov was the 118th-ranked North American skater (by Central Scouting) and was 115th ranked by FC Hockey.
