<h2><strong>Calgary&#8217;s picks</strong></h2>
<p>As noted yesterday, the Flames have seven picks on the second day of the draft:</p>
<ul>
<li>41st overall (2nd round)</li>
<li>62nd overall (2nd round) &#8211; from Dallas (Chris Tanev trade)</li>
<li>74th overall (3rd round)</li>
<li>84th overall (3rd round) &#8211; from Vegas (Noah Hanifin trade)</li>
<li>106th overall (4th round)</li>
<li>107th overall (4th round) &#8211; from Vancouver via New Jersey (Elias Lindholm trade)</li>
<li>170th overall (6th round)</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Calgary&#8217;s current prospect cupboard</strong></h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s a quick snapshot of what the Flames currently have in their prospect mix. We&#8217;re only counting players on entry-level deals or unsigned draft picks for simplicity.</p>
<ul>
<li>Goalies: Daniil Chechelev, Waltteri Ignatjew, Arsenii Sergeev and Yegor Yegorov</li>
<li>Defencemen: Jake Boltmann, Hunter Brzustewicz, Artem Grushnikov, Axel Hurtig, Joni Jurmo, Etienne Morin, Zayne Parekh and Jeremie Poirier</li>
<li>Forwards: Parker Bell, Lucas Ciona, Matt Coronato, Matvei Gridin, Samuel Honzek, Rory Kerins, Demetrios Koumontzis, Jaden Lipinski, Cade Littler, Ilya Nikolaev, William Strömgren and Aydar Suniev</li>
</ul>
<p>The Flames added an OHL defenceman and a college-bound forward on Friday. We suspect they&#8217;ll look for a little of everything on Saturday.</p>
<h2><strong>Calgary&#8217;s drafting tendencies</strong></h2>
<p>The Flames delved into the OHL and USHL on Friday, which is pretty much right in line with their historical trends – typically, they&#8217;ve leaned on the WHL and OHL quite a bit, and they&#8217;ve supplemented that in recent years with more of a focus on the USHL and Russia.</p>
<p>Several players who were projected as possible first-round talents remain available as Day 2 of the draft opens:</p>
