The Calgary Flames have 10 picks in the 2026 NHL Draft: Nos. 6, 30, 36, 51, 55, 65, 68, 100, 132, 164. Here’s what to expect.
Pronman’s team needs
Calgary took a massive swing on the blue line by drafting Zayne Parekh in 2024. While the Flames added forwards Cole Reschny and Cullen Potter in the first round of the 2025 draft, they still need more help down the middle long-term and will be tempted by Caleb Malhotra or Viggo Björck if either is available at the No. 6 spot, given their projections as future top-six centers.
Names to watch
In recent mock drafts, Corey Pronman has projected the following picks:
6. Viggo Björck, C
30. Liam Ruck, RW
36. Tobias Trejbal, G
51. Egor Shilov, C
55. Thomas Vandenberg, C
65. Zachary Lansard, C
68. Vladimir Dravecky, D
100. Pierce Mbuyi, LW
132. Sean Burick, D
164. Matvey Karasyov, D
