The Calgary Flames are facing one of the most important nights in franchise history when the 2024 NHL Draft takes over the Sphere in Las Vegas, and they've got more than one critical decision to make. We will see if the team can trade up with Buffalo, New Jersey, Ottawa or even Utah, but whether they do make a move or sit tight at No. 9 and No. 28, they still need to get their selections right.
With the night almost upon us, let's take one final look at the prospects looking to get their names called in the 2024 NHL Draft, and rank the prospects that the Calgary Flames would most like to land for the future of the organization at the No. 9 overall selection.
(Note, we have left out the presumed 1, 2 and 3 selections in the draft of Levshunov, Demidov and Celebrini, and will instead rank the 10 players most likely to be available with the Flames current first-round pick).
