Who the Calgary Flames will draft according to the experts

The 2022 NHL Draft starts tonight at 7 p.m. ET in Montreal. The Calgary Flames don't currently hold a pick in the first round. They have three picks in this draft: 59th, 155th and 219th overall. Scouts and experts ranked the draft eligible and made predictions on who will get taken where.

Matthew Poitras is ranked 59th on Dobber Prospects' final draft board.

Poitras is a hard-working, offensively skilled forward who is good on both sides of the puck. He has a good release on his wrist shot, good vision and passing ability, and quick hands in traffic. Poitra protects the ball well on the cycle, takes great angles in pursuit, comes away with contested pucks.

The Calgary Flames are expected to draft Jani Nyman in the second round.

Nyman is a typical second round prospect. He excels on the offensive side of the game. His soft hands and playmaking skills help him on that side. Nyman's weaknesses are his lack of forecheck and his poor defensive play. He finished with a -13 rating this season in the Mestis. Calgary Flames are expected to draft him. They have a first-round pick.

Calgary Flames are expected to draft Tomas Hamara.

Hamara is a subtly impactful three-zone defenceman who can play the offensive defencemen role or settle things down and play a simpler game. He was Czechia’s No. 1 D at U18 worlds and played on a top Liiga team this year.

Isaiah George has the potential to be a second pairing player at the NHL level. He needs to push play more in the offensive zone and become more confident in his ability to run the cycle.

Bob McKenzie has Ryan Greene ranked 59th on his final draft board.

Greene had a great season with the Green Bay Gamblers, scoring 51 points in 59 games. He was often the team's best defensive forward and was used often on the penalty kill. Greene's defensive game will likely be his bread-and-butter moving forward.

Corey Pronman has Topias Leinonen ranked 59th on his final draft board.

Leinonen was a good junior goalie in Finland this season. He was injured or unavailable around major tournaments outside the U18 worlds. Leinononen has the ability to make tough saves but consistency is an issue.

Calgary Flames are expected to draft Otto Salin. He is ranked 59th on the Future Considerations' draft board.

Salin is a talented player who has good vision, puck skills and mobility. He can be brought over to North America to learn from the tightness of the pro game. His defensive game is not very good, but he has the offensive potential. He is considered a good prospect for the third round.

Craig Button has Michael Buchinger ranked 59th on his final draft board.

Consistent player that plays a solid two-way game every night. Excellent skater with speed and mobility in all directions. Competes hard and plays physical. Smart defender that uses positioning and a great stick to his advantage.

Bryce McConnell-Barker is ranked 59th overall in the World Cup consolidated rankings. Scott Wheeler had nice words to say about Bryce McConnell.

McConnell-Barker scored 54 points in 78 games for the Soo this season. He was a top prospect in his age group growing up. The Calgary Flames are expected to draft him.

The Calgary Flames have limited picks at the NHL Draft. They will make the right choice.
