The Calgary Flames made eight selections at last weekend’s 2025 NHL Draft.

It was the third draft with Craig Conroy as general manager. And for the second consecutive year, the feedback from the scouting community is that the Flames did a pretty good chop continuing to stock their cupboards.

In the interest of providing a bit of context towards why folks are saying the Flames did well at the draft, we thought we’d do what we tend to do around here: dig into the numbers.

Here’s a statistical look at the Flames’ 2025 draft class.

The first of the Flames’ two first-rounders – this one was acquired from New Jersey – Reschny had 26 goals and 66 assists for 92 points in 60 games with the Western Hockey League’s Victoria Royals. In terms of NHLe, Reschny’s scoring rate was worth about 36.75 points.

Reschny had 70 primary points, 46 five-on-five primary points, and 48 five-on-five points overall. Put another way, just shy of half of his points were generated on special teams. Considering he played in every game situation for Victoria and so few of his points were secondary assists (just 22), his production is pretty encouraging.

The second of the Flames’ two first-rounders – this one was acquired from Florida – Potter had 13 goals and 9 assists for 22 points in 35 games with the Arizona State University Sun Devils in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference of the NCAA. He was the third-youngest player in the entire NCAA. In terms of NHLe, Potter’s scoring rate was worth about 22.63 points.

Potter had 16 primary points, 13 five-on-five primary points, and 17 five-on-five points overall. Considering his age and size, you would usually expect his production to be propped up more by power play numbers… except that didn’t happen with Potter, which is an encouraging sign.

The Flames’ second-rounder, Stockselius had 22 goals and 29 assists for 51 points in 40 games with Djurgårdens IF in the J20 Nationell, Sweden’s national junior league. (He also played 6 games in the J18 Nationell, posting 14 points.) In terms of NHLe, Stockselius’ J20 Nationell scoring rate was worth about 20.91 points.

Stockselius had 38 primary points, 29 five-on-five primary points, and 35 five-on-five points overall. His personal shooting percentage was 23.7%, the best among the 2025 draft class. He tended to score goals in clusters – he had multiple hat tricks this season – but being nearly a point-per-game at even strength is pretty solid given the quality of the J20 Nationell.

Bonus fact: Stockselius played the first half of the season with his big brother, Lucas, who was Djurgårdens’ captain. (Lucas spent the second half of the season on loan to a few different pro teams.)

The Flames’ third-rounder, Phillips had 2 goals and 4 assists for 6 points in 60 games with the United States National Development Program’s Under-18 Team. In the Under-18 Team’s games in the United States Hockey League, he had 2 goals and 1 assist for 3 points in 25 games. In terms of NHLe, Phillips’ scoring rate was worth about 2.76 points. (We don’t have an NHLe conversion for the USNDP, since they play against a varied bunch of teams, but his scoring rate between USHL and overall games was basically the same.)

Phillips had 3 primary points, 3 five-on-five primary points, and 3 five-on-five points overall. But, hey, he’s a physical shutdown defender, so three points and 67 penalty minutes isn’t wholly unexpected.

The Flames’ fifth-rounder, Wyttenbach had 24 goals and 27 assists for 51 points in 44 games with the United States Hockey League’s Sioux Fall Stampede. In terms of NHLe, Wyttenbach’s scoring rate was worth 26.61 points.

Wyttenbach had 42 primary points, 30 five-on-five primary points, and 38 five-on-five points overall. For someone taken so late, it’s pretty unique for him to be so close to a point-per-game (and even-strength point-per-game) in such a good league.

The Flames’ sixth-rounder, Lane had 34 goals and 52 assists for 86 points in 55 games with St. Andrews College. He also had zero points in two games with the United States Hockey League’s Green Bay Gamblers, and 7 goals and 6 assists for 13 points in 13 games with the Ontario Hockey League’s Brampton Steelheads. Looking at his brief OHL tenure alone, his scoring rate was worth 26.49 points. We’re not sure if Lane jumping to the OHL late is beginner’s luck or super impressive given teams were starting to get into playoff mode.

In the OHL, Lane had 10 primary points, 7 five-on-five primary points, and 10 five-on-five points overall. On a per-game basis, he was really productive and not propped up by special teams production.

The first of the Flames’ two seventh-rounders, Leander had 1 goal and 5 assists for 6 points in 39 games with HV71 of the J20 Nationell. (He also played 19 games with HV71’s J18 Nationell team, posting 4 assists.) His NHLe scoring rate in the J20 Nationell was worth 2.52 points.

Leander had 3 primary points, 3 five-on-five primary points, and 5 five-on-five points overall. Like Phillips, Leander is a defensive-minded defender, so oodles of points weren’t something we’d expect to see.

The second of the Flames’ two seventh-rounders, Matveiko had 10 goals and 14 assists for 24 points in 42 games with Krasnaya Armiya Moskva of the MHL, Russia’s national junior league. His NHLe scoring rate was worth 6.70 points.

Matveiko had 20 primary points, 17 five-on-five primary points, and 21 five-on-five points overall. Matveiko got off to a pretty slow start offensively, not registering a single point in October. But after that point, he began to hit the scoresheet with regularity. And it’s pretty impressive that the vast majority of his points were at even strength.
