This coming May is the 40th anniversary of the Atlanta Flames moving to Calgary. To commemorate this occasion, we’re counting down the Top 40 Calgary Flames in history.
Coming in at #34 is the first current Flame on the list, Matthew Tkachuk.
Drafted by the Flames in 2016, Tkachuk turned a lot of heads when he made the team out of training camp. He finished seventh in Calder voting, but his feud with Drew Doughty (and a couple short suspensions) created a notorious reputation for him – one that’s only been cemented with his subsequent feud with Edmonton forward Zach Kassian.
