Free Flames Scout

Im a Calgary Flames Fan & a Scouting Fan. I focus on team needs,trade possibilities, prospects & draft options. I always enjoy discussing draft eligible players

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

Yes!!!! #Flames got Wolf!!!! So excited about this pick! This kid is going to make the Other teams regret passing on this him!
He was my personal favorite goaltender in this draft and we got him with the 7th round pick!
@NHLFlames
Not going to lie... I was getting nervous!..

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@Fan960Logan Could easily be convinced to take Ben Macbeath in the 51) to 55) range. Could also be convinced to take Jonas Woo a bit earlier. But I do think the #Flames biggest positional need is RW and Right shot Centers. I think our defensive depth is pretty strong.

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@Fan960Logan My personal #Flames #2026MockDraft would be:
6)V. Bjork C/RW
28)L.Ruck RW
35)M.Ruck C/LW
36)B.Rogowski C
51)L.Steiner RW
55)J. Vaněček LD
(But if R. Roobroeck C/LW is still here I think I’m taking him)
65)N.Bartholdsson RW
68)J. Lagerberg Hoen RW
100)J.Woo RD
132)J.Iginla F

In the last 4 years the San Jose sharks will have picked 4,1,2,2…
The Flames have never picked higher than 4 and that was 12 years ago…

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@RyanNPike @FlamesNation Going off of Tankathons player rankings, assuming we keep all our 2nd round picks, who would you want to see the Flames target in the 2nd round?

@Canucks_Enjoyer

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@Canucks_Enjoyer Other fan bases may be able to dispute this fact a little better but you as a Canuck fan are probably best just sitting this one out…. Canucks_enjoyer, 🤣.

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@Canucks_Enjoyer Well let’s see, Elias Pettersson was a 5th overall pick who’s in his “Prime” at 27 years old & he currently has 48 points in 70 games…
So yes Gridin being 19 years old with 19 points in 34 games is looking like a top 10 pick… Especially when you consider he has 9 in his last 10

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@miketgould @RyanNPike I’d say if we’re talking next game then it’s probably Cicek but once the frozen four is done then I’d say Wiebe? All the more reason for him to sign up with the Flames.

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@nucks0 @miketgould I keep forgetting that the Canucks just beat the Bruins to win the Stanley Cup the other year… oh wait no that was in 2011…. Oh yeah wait and they beat you…. Wait have the Canucks ever won a cup?
Canucks have drafted higher pretty much every year for the last 10+ years…

@JBremen02 @Rezarah85 @TheBertaTiger How did you get 6 followers with takes like this?…

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@TheBertaTiger Totally!…. Brzustewicz is going to be way better…

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@RyanNPike I actually had Clay as an undrafted player to watch back after the season he captained the Portland Winterhawks. He’s a solid offensive Left shot D. He’s been good with Mount Royal the last few seasons. Curious to see how he translates at the next levels.

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@RingOfFireCGY I’d say ball is in his court. If he thinks he is ready to make the jump then I would say welcome! But if he wants to go back for another season then I would be fine with that too.

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@kmgaudreau @Fan960Steinberg @NHLFlames @Gaudreau5K You guys will have to all come out for Wyttenbach’s first game with the team, whenever that happens. Would be nice to have you guys in the house for the first Gaudreau award winner’s first game.

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@tritongamez I like JP Hurlbert but if it’s me I’m using Vegas’s pick to take Liam Ruck and then I’m using our first 2nd round pick to take Markus. I’m even consider trading two 2nd round picks to move up in to the bottom of the first round to take Markus there just to be safe…

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@davedubbin85 If Conroy is picking them, 100%

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

@SeanRoiseLarose Make sure you guys treat Weegs good. The guy is a legend. Such a good team guy. I’m gonna miss him. Best of luck in Utah @weega52 !

@AntiTankAIDrone And they have exploded in their production ever since Basha joined them. He’s the triplet that was separated at birth.

[Free Flames Scout @FlamesScoutFan]

I want these guys bad. I’d be using the Vegas pick for Liam and then I would even consider bundling our 2nd and Ottawa’s 2nd to move up into the lower first round to take Markus.

TWIN TELEPATHY 🧠

Identical twins Liam and Markus Ruck currently CO-LEAD the WHL with nearly the exact same point totals... and they're both draft eligible this year 👀🔥
