Europe
Europe has always been a great source of prospects for the Flames, with Matvei Gridin the latest example of a player that could be a huge piece of the future out of Europe. This year, there's only a few prospecst out there, and while the 2027 NHL Draft could see more join the organization, for now there's plenty of excitement out there.
Sweden
In Sweden is perhaps the Flames most overlooked prospect in Theo Stockselius, and while he's yet to make his true mark at the SHL level, given his size and his skill, he's still on to watch for the future. The production isn't there yet, but with the World Juniors upcoming, it's only a matter of time until Stockselius finds his role and starts breaking out at the next level.
Theo Stockselius (Djurgardens): 0G, 1A, 1P, -1 in six games played.
Russia
Out of every Flames prospect early this season, none have caught the attention of the hockey world quite like second-round pick Alan Shaikhlislamov, who has dominated early in the season at the Russian junior level. He only recently turned 18, so it will be some time until we see him, but given the Flames belief in his shot and his physicality, he's already proving to be quite the handful.
Alan Shaikhlislamov (Tolpar): 7G, 5A, 12P, -2 in nine games played.
Yan Matveiko (Total between MHL and VHL): 0G, 3A, 3P, -2 in 10 games played.
