“With the 6th overall pick in the 2026 nhl entry draft…. The calgary flames………”

@Chens89 @NoDakMets I think there’s a ton of factors that can change how we look at the leagues. Carels was also recruited, so I’m assuming those types of discussions have taken place (playing time, situations etc). The one thing that’s a guarantee is more gym time, at that age is beneficial
English
@davedubbin85 @NoDakMets Do you think it’s an automatic that playing older, stronger players is better for long term development? What if Carels goes here and gets nearly 0 PP time. How’s that good for his offensive development and creativity?

Curious to see how this goes, I don’t think we’ve wrapped our heads around how much of a difference the NCAA is vs CHL with new rules.

Carson Carels, a projected top-10 pick in next month’s #NHLDraft, has committed to the University Of North Dakota (NCAA) for 26/27. The defenseman put up 73 points in 58 GP with Prince George Cougars (WHL) in 25/26. #4 ranked 2026 draft prospect by @eliteprospects

@NoDakMets 100% level competition. I think recently, NCAA has evolved to be a higher level of competition….. I don’t think we’ve gotten a good handle on how big the gap is yet, since the changes are so new.
English
@davedubbin85 Explain what you mean by that. Different level of competition, I’d assume? Or are you insinuating that going from CHL to NCAA in a player’s draft year isn’t good for their stock/development

Kiprusoff for a 2nd.

What are some of the most even trades in the NHL recently where both teams benefited?

@ColtonBaxter17 This lines up with a lot of the recent prospects underlying numbers. Entries/exits/transition especially

@SJEIncCEO @RyanNPike Don’t sleep on Mews. Kids a stud imo. Michigan going to be really good too, he’s going to have a good year.
English
@davedubbin85 @RyanNPike It’s such a perfect fit on paper too. Carels/Parekh/Brzustewicz has the potential to be a Cadillac blueline for a decade plus.

@davedubbin85 @FlamesNation Wait. Am I out to lunch? I see 3. Tkachuk, Seider and Monahan.
English
@SJEIncCEO I would do it for an age appropriate C in about 2 seconds though lol hahah
English
@davedubbin85 It’s wild to me how the same voices/accounts that have been *screaming* for a deliberate, patient rebuild now all of a sudden wanna accelerate because of one night of bad lottery luck.
English
@davedubbin85 @DarrenWHaynes Best player is another D. Flames are as unlucky an org as it gets
English
For Flames fans seeking silver linings from the draft lottery, what was confirmed Tuesday is no draft help is incoming for the 2026-27 roster. I can confidently predict that whoever Calgary picks won’t be in town until next season. Sets up another draft lottery loss next May. 😉
English
@dlarson17 Tough question. Big fan of both players! Gun to my head, Carels if there at 6.
