Draft picks officially set for Calgary Flames in 2020 NHL draft
By Zach Laing
3 years agoThe draft order has been set, and the Calgary Flames officially know where they’ll be picking.
Calgary’s first pick comes in the first round, 19th overall with their second coming in round two, 50th overall.
Things get hairy in the third round. The Flames own 81st overall, and may get the 76th overall selection from the Edmonton Oilers from the @Milan Lucic deal. If Edmonton doesn’t give their 2020 3rd round pick, the Flames will receive the Oilers’ 2021 3rd round pick. Either way, the Flames have to forfeit a third-round pick to Chicago in the @Erik Gustafsson trade.
Calgary owns San Jose’s 4th round pick, 96th overall, that was acquired through the Buffalo Sabres in the @Michael Frolik deal. In round five Calgary picks 143rd overall in round five and 174th overall in the sixth round.
Their last pick comes 205th overall in the 7th round.
The draft is set to kick off at 7 p.m. EST next Tuesday. Here is the procedure for how the full draft order was decided:
