The Calgary Flames have three selections at the 2022 NHL Draft. Over the past week, we’ve delved into the club’s prospect depth at the three main positions in an attempt to determine where their most pressing needs lie.
Here’s more or less what we figured out.
Goaltenders
At this point, goaltending doesn’t seem like a pressing organizational need. Dustin Wolf is the club’s heir apparent, and until Dan Vladar moves on it seems like Wolf’s gig will be to dominate the AHL. Beyond Wolf, Arsenii Sergeev was excellent in the USHL this past season and his next challenge will be to develop into a strong collegiate goaltender, so he’s probably 3-4 years away from being an NHL option (if he becomes one).
