Since the calendar flipped over from 2025 to 2026, the Calgary Flames have made a few big trades.

Rasmus Andersson? Off to Vegas. MacKenzie Weegar? Gone to Utah. Nazem Kadri? Back to Colorado.

And in those trades, the Flames added seven picks in the first two rounds of the next three NHL Drafts.

To make some sense of the many, many picks, we thought we’d run through the picks the Flames currently control over the next three drafts.

Let’s dive in.

The Flames have two first-round picks: their own and Vegas’, acquired in the Noah Hanifin trade in 2024.

In the second round, they have four picks: their own, and three from Utah from the Weegar trade: Utah’s, the NY Rangers’ and Ottawa’s. (Utah had acquired New York and Ottawa’s pick in earlier trades.)

Finally, they have two picks in the third round: their own and Vancouver’s, acquired in the Nikita Zadorov trade.

All-told, the Flames control eight picks in the first three rounds of the 2026 draft. In their history, the most picks they’ve actually made in the first three rounds is six in 2024 and 1997.

They also have their own picks in the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds.

They traded their seventh-round pick to Detroit when they traded into last year’s seventh round so they could select Yan Matveiko.

The Flames have two firsts in 2027: their own and Vegas’, from the Andersson trade.

They have two seconds, too: their own and one from Colorado – their own or Minnesota’s, whichever is better – from the Kadri trade.

They have their own third, fifth, and sixth-round picks.

They traded their fourth–round pick to Colorado in the Kadri trade and their own seventh-round pick to Anaheim in the Ryan Strome trade.

Finally, the Flames have multiple first-rounders again in 2028: they could potentially make two first-round selections in five consecutive drafts dating back to 2024. They have their own first, as well as Colorado’s from the Kadri trade. (The Colorado pick is conditional.)

They also have two seconds: their own and Vegas’ from the Andersson trade.

They have their own third, fourth, fifth and second-rounders, too.

They traded their seventh-rounder to Philadelphia in the trade that brought Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost to Calgary.

In short: the Flames have oodles of picks over the next three years. Given the number of picks they’ve already made over the past three seasons, they won’t necessarily make all these picks. But as the team looks to accelerate their rebuild, having so many picks give the Flames a ton of flexibility – to draft, to trade up or to trade for other assets – in the coming years.
