What are the Flames getting in Connor Mackey and Colton Poolman?

We had some honest to goodness hockey news on Friday, as the Calgary Flames added a pair of sought-after collegiate defenders in the form of Minnesota State’s Connor Mackey and North Dakota’s Colton Poolman.

But just what are the Flames gaining in these two left shot blueliners, aside from two players who have experience against grown-ass men?

Connor Mackey

Mackey, 23, was a player the Flames had been after for awhile. A USHL standout, he was invited to the Flames’ development camp in 2017 but went to college rather than get lured to go pro.
